Overview
The Quantum Information Science and Technologies programme offered by University of Sussex is the next step to a successful career in quantum technologies in areas such as:
- practical quantum computers
- quantum algorithms and quantum error correction
- quantum networks
- quantum sensors
- the modelling power of quantum simulators.
Key Facts
This four-year degree has been designed by leading academics and industry partners. It includes a broad range of taught modules at the University of Sussex and the University of Bristol in Year 1, followed by the research project phase in Years 2-4. You’ll have access to a broad technology base and state-of-the-art facilities at Sussex and Bristol.
As a postgraduate researcher, you’ll learn from world-leading academics, industrial collaborators and your peers. You’ll:
- gain experience of practical application as well as a sound theoretical understanding of quantum physics
- develop complementary skills – such as commercialisation and science communication – necessary for academic and industrial excellence
- have the option of going on industry trips to visit companies and research laboratories working in the quantum field
- have financial support for academic and industrial secondments, as well as international and national conferences.
