Course summary

This Masters in Quantum Technology will provide training in the emerging area of quantum technologies, giving students advanced training in the relevant physics and engineering, while acquiring key skills in micro/nanofabrication. This MSc is underpinned by Glasgow leadership in the UK’s Quantum Technology programme. The subjects taught in this programme are the relevant science behind many of the global challenges – in energy, environment, materials, and security – identified as major themes for interdisciplinary research in the 21st century. The programme is ideal if you are keen to pursue a professional career or research in Quantum Technologies.This programme equips students with an interdisciplinary perspective of the physics and engineering skills needed in the field of quantum technologies.This MSc will be underpinned by the one of the four quantum technology hubs within the UK (QuantIC). The university also hosts the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre, the UK's premier academic cleanroom for device micro/nanofabrication. The university is a globally recognised centre of excellence for quantum science and technology. Its researchers and facilities lie at the heart of the UK National Quantum Technology Programme (NQTP), which has seen a £1b investment since its inception in 2014. Our university leads QuantIC, the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Imaging and it is contributing to all four Quantum Technology Hubs in the UK programme, covering quantum computing simulation, communication, sensing and imaging. Quantum technologies such as photonics and nanotechnology are key strengths in Scotland, which is home to high-performing research-intensive universities and a highly innovative, international and entrepreneurial technology cluster.You will be well equipped for a variety of careers either in an academic or industrial setting. You will also be well qualified to pursue a doctoral degree e.g. in the School of Physics & Astronomy or the James Watt School of Engineering. The Glasgow-led Quantum Technology Hub has strong links with national labs/industry, and these present an excellent opportunity for future career opportunities, including: Leonardo (defence & security), Thales (defence & security), BAE Systems (defence & security), Lockheed Martin (defence & security).
