Quantum Technologies in Electrical and Computer Engineering (QTEC)

SHAPE THE FUTURE AND BECOME A SPECIALIST IN QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES As a quantum technology engineer, you will be a specialist in a wide range of applications that demand unprecedented levels of precision and performance. Are you ready to initiate and support technological revolutions in society and industry? Enrol in our English-language Master’s programme in Quantum Technologies in Electrical and Computer Engineering and shape the future! As for the content of the programme, you can expect a significant orientation towards electrical engineering and information technology with a simultaneous focus on various fields in forward-looking quantum technologies. Key components of the new degree programme include elements drawn from physics, computer science and mathematics. Since TU Braunschweig cooperates closely with Leibniz University Hannover for this programme, students will have the chance to complete additional modules at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz University Hannover. WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT TU BRAUNSCHWEIG? Local advantages and international name recognition With this degree, you will be globally sought after. You will be studying under an excellent teaching staff at one of Germany’s top nine universities of technology (TU9). Thanks to the large number of major research institutions here, Braunschweig and its surrounding area are “Europe’s most research-intensive region by far” (Eurostat). Our closest collaborations are with the following partners: National Metrology Institute (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB) German Aerospace Centre (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) Various Fraunhofer Institutes In addition, we maintain close ties with many companies in the region, Germany and around the world. Quantum Valley Lower Saxony: A booster for studies and research As a student in the Quantum Technologies in Electrical and Computer Engineering (QTEC) Master’s programme, you will benefit from the strength of the Quantum Valley Lower Saxony network. It was founded by the German Ministry for Research and Culture and the Volkswagen Foundation in cooperation with leading research institutions and companies to pool expertise in quantum technologies for enhanced visibility both locally and internationally. STRUCTURE OF THE QTEC MASTER’S PROGRAMME Compulsory fundamentals (15 ECTS): Advanced Quantum Technology for Engineers Introduction to Quantum Information Technology and Quantum Computing Advanced Applications of Field Theory Electives (50 ECTS): Quantum Structure Devices Quantum Information Processing and Quantum Computing Interdisciplinary qualification (25 ECTS): Professionalisation Industry internship or Master’s team project Seminar Final module: Master’s thesis and oral examination (30 ECTS) During your time as a student, you will gain practical experience during a specialised work placement or projects in industry, establishing valuable contacts with leading companies in your field. Alternatively, you can examine a current topic of interdisciplinary research as part of a team project at the Master’s level. This will hone your teamwork skills and offer you valuable insights into your university's research activities and working environment.
