During the study phase, students attend mandatory courses and, additionally, some courses chosen from the catalog of elective courses. Important: one of the two mandatory modules (PH1009 & PH1010) must be taken in the 1st semester and it is strongly recommended to take both mandatory modules in the 1st semester. The elective subjects cover selected topics from the research area Quantum Science & Technology and prepare students for engaging in current research, uniquely reflecting the broad research activity of the cooperating universities TUM and LMU. A scientifically-oriented lab course and a general-education subject round off the profile of this Master’s program.
During the research phase, the students will directly encounter current research topics in Quantum Science & Technology. After an initial familiarization through the Master’s seminar and the Master’s practical training, students will independently work on their Master’s thesis under the guidance of a thesis advisor. During the whole research phase, intensive support will be ensured by involving numerous scientists. Students will profit from an excellent research environment and participation in various national and international research networks.
