Quantum Engineering

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

Quantum Engineering is an interdisciplinary Bachelor's program that combines fundamentals of physics and engineering with a focus on quantum technologies. The six-semester program emphasizes a cross-disciplinary systems approach. Quantum technologies enable new solutions in areas such as sensors and measurement technology, communication, cryptography, and computing. The program provides the foundations to research and develop new system solutions based on these technologies. The curriculum includes a broad education in physical and engineering fundamentals, specialized advanced courses, mandatory practical labs in both physics and engineering, and the option for an industry internship. The program comprises 180 credit points (CP) distributed across various categories including mathematical foundations (25 CP), experimental physics (33 CP), theoretical physics (16 CP), engineering fundamentals (43 CP), physics practicals (11 CP), engineering practicals (6 CP), and electives. The program concludes with a Bachelor's seminar and thesis, typically conducted as part of larger research projects. Graduates primarily work in research institutions and research-oriented areas of industry, especially in high-tech fields where quantum physical effects are applied or key technologies are developed.
