Quantum Engineering (Master of Science)
Master the transition from fundamental quantum physics to industrial applications in communication, simulation, sensors, and computation.
Best for:Best for Bachelor's graduates in physics or engineering seeking specialized training in quantum technologies and experimental control.
Overview
Leibniz University Hannover and Technische Universität Braunschweig jointly offer a comprehensive Master of Science programme in Quantum Engineering. The curriculum spans four semesters and covers the four core pillars of quantum technologies: communication, simulation, sensors, and computation. Students engage in lectures, seminars, a flexible computational and experimental laboratory module, and a mandatory industry or research internship. The programme culminates in a Master's thesis, preparing graduates to transfer quantum technology solutions from the research laboratory into practical industrial settings.
What you'll do
- Complete foundational and elective coursework across physics, mathematics, computer science, and engineering pillars
- Participate in seminars on quantum technologies with laser-cooled ions and atoms
- Execute flexible laboratory modules covering computational methods, simulations, and experimental control
- Complete an eight to twelve-week mandatory internship in industry or within a participating research laboratory
- Conduct independent research and write a Master's thesis during the final semester
