How is Quantum Computing structured?

The master’s programme in Quantum Computing takes two years to complete, and each academic year is divided into two semesters.

The diagramme below gives you an overview of the recommended course of study. On small screens it works best in landscape mode.

Choices and options

In the 2nd and 3rd semester of the master’s programme in Quantum Computing, you have a great opportunity to shape your academic direction through two elective modules totalling 30 ECTS. This provides you with a solid foundation to delve into the specific subject areas that interest you the most. 

The 4th semester of the programme is dedicated to the master’s thesis. Here, you can explore a topic you are particularly interested in – whether it is through interdisciplinary work, in-depth research, or through collaboration with a company where you contribute to solving real-world challenges.

A typical week

Below is an example of how a teaching schedule might look for a student in the first semester of the MSc programme in Quantum Computing. Teaching times and workload may vary from week to week, and as a rule, classes can be scheduled on weekdays between 8:15 AM and 6:00 PM.
