Introduction

The Erasmus Mundus International Master in Quantum Technologies and Engineering (QuanTEEM) offers you a unique international educational experience with a focused curriculum on quantum technologies, by bringing together the expertise of research groups at three renowned EU universities.

The backbone of the programme is a multi-disciplinary approach in physics, materials (including nanostructures), and computer science, which will make you a skilled expert and quantum engineer. With this multi-disciplinary approach, you will address aspects and challenges such as energy, materials, health, security, and the environment.

The programme has been granted EU’s prestigious Erasmus Mundus label and is offered jointly by:

  • Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC)
  • Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK)
  • Aarhus University (AU)

 

Career opportunities

As a graduate of the QuanTEEM programme, you will be qualified to work in international private companies working with quantum technologies, embark on top-class PhD programmes, or create a start-up anywhere in the world.

Admission requirements

The following Bachelor's degrees qualify students for admission to the Master's degree programme in Quantum Technologies and Engineering:

Students are only admitted through the central application procedures coordinated by UBFC in collaboration with the partners.

Programme structure

This 2-year programme contains 120 ECTS credit units and leads to a Master of Science (MSc) in Quantum Technologies and Engineering (QuanTEEM). The curriculum is tailored to comprise all the aspects of quantum technologies with a spectrum of courses based on the established pillars:

  • Quantum computation
  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum sensing and imaging
  • Quantum simulation and multidisciplinary applications

The programme offers a choice of specialisations that define different possible mobility tracks. 

 

Specialisations and tracks

The first semester is common for all students and takes place at Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC).

In the second semester, you specialise in one of two proposed tracks: 

  1. Photonics which takes place at Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté (UBFC).
  2. Many-Body Quantum Physics which takes place at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK)

In the third semester, you select one of two proposed tracks: 

  1. Integrated Quantum Optics at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern (TUK)
  2. Platforms for Quantum Technologies at Aarhus University (AU)

During the fourth semester, you perform your master’s thesis research at any of the three institutions or any of the QuanTEEM-associated partners.

The full programme with courses is available at the official programme website: https://www.quanteem.eu/


Student life

As a student in this Erasmus Mundus programme, you will be challenged on both the scientific and social levels.

You will have many fellow students from various nations and experience different cultures and learning environments. You will get the latest insights from recently finished research and be taught by leading international scientists.
