The course of study
The Master's programme in Quantum Science is interdisciplinary and research-oriented. It is based on the scientific foundations that you have acquired in your bachelor's degree program. You will be able to specialize in quantum science, such as:
- Quantum technologies
- Processing information with quantum computers
- Engineering of quantum computers, experimental quantum optics and nano-optics
On the one hand, the modules in the first year of study provide you with basic coverage of general quantum sciences. On the other hand, you will be able to prepare for research in your chosen specialization. The second year of study is dedicated to research. You will complete your master's thesis within a working group associated with the degree program.

I chose to study at the University of Siegen because of its research and innovation in Quantum Science. The faculty here is very knowledgeable and supportive, which has greatly improved my learning experience. At this university, we can choose our courses, making it easier to build our knowledge at our own pace. I really like how my colleagues help me with my studies, and the professors are always willing to clear my doubts during their free time. I would highly recommend the University of Siegen to anyone looking to advance their education in Quantum Computing, as the university has its own Quantum Computer. Besides that, I love living in Siegen for its beautiful nature, less crowded atmosphere, and good road connectivity.

Study organisation
Examination regulations/course plans/module manuals/internship regulations
(Professional) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a course of study (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). For students, the current version of an FPO automatically applies when enrolling in the first semester. This means that even in the case of changes to the FPO during the course of studies, the original version according to which one has enrolled is valid (provided that this FPO does not expire).
The respective course plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Additional regulations and details for each module to be studied can be found in the module manuals (e.g. prerequisites for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/events, ...).
The traineeship regulations define the conditions under which the mandatory or optional traineeships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least look at the course schedule of your course of study so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
