Overview

The Quantum Technologies programme at University College London (UCL) covers a broad range of research themes from engineering-focused development of technological products to foundational research.

We offer an entry stream for engineers and computer scientists with little or no prior experience in quantum mechanics, as well as students with a physics background, as part of the PhD.

The aim of the PhD is to provide a common skills background, as well as allowing students to specialise their interests via their research project, leading to the selection of their PhD topic.

Employability

The field of quantum technologies has seen significant government and industrial investment in recent years. We expect most graduates of this programme to enter research in both academic and industrial environments, but the diverse skills offered by the programme will equip you for a wide range of career paths.

Quantum technologies are a rapidly growing area of research in both academic, and increasingly, industrial environments. There is a need for highly-skilled researchers to lead this developing field, with a rare and diverse range of skills and expertise. Graduates of this doctoral programme will be highly employable both in academic research and as leaders of these new industrial areas.
