MSc Quantum Science and Technology at Friedrich Schiller University Jena

Programme overview

The M.Sc. Quantum Science and Technology is an all-English, two-year Master's degree course providing multidisciplinary coverage in the field of quantum sciences including quantum mechanics, information, communication, computing, imaging, sensing and further rising fields of quantum technology. The course schedule ranges from fundamental scientific subjects to application-oriented quantum engineering aspects.

What you will study

The programme comprises four educational stages and is complemented by German and English language courses as well as ASP training courses: I - Adjustment: This stage provides students with the necessary background knowledge in Quantum Theory, Quantum Physics, and, if necessary, Soid State, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics.

Career pathways

Students enrolled in the two-year program receive dedicated tutorial support and are trained for leading positions in industry and academia. Moreover, graduating the M.Sc. Quantum Science and Technology programme offers a very direct way to enter our prestigious doctoral (PhD) scheme afterwards.
