The postgraduate distance learning programme provides you with comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of Quantum Technologies on an academic level. The interdisciplinary degree programme combines content from physics, mathematics, computer science, electrical engineering, and information technology relevant to quantum technologies. It is explicitly dedicated to the fields of quantum communication, quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum simulation.

Major and minor subjects
The advanced study programme is divided into major subjects, which fall on the third and fourth semesters, and minor subjects, which fall on the fifth semester. The major and minor subjects are assigned to the four subject areas Quantum Communication, Quantum Computing, Quantum Sensing and Quantum Simulation. The choice of two major subjects of the specialisation study simultaneously determines the two minor subjects to be completed in the specialisation study, which must be assigned to the two subject areas not covered by major subjects.
Access with a university degree
Application period: mid-May to 15 July
The application is open to persons with a first university degree of at least six semesters qualifying for a profession in physics, informatics, mathematics, in a natural science or engineering degree programme or in a physics close degree programme and at least one year of relevant and qualified professional experience in the field of quantum technologies or the underlying technologies afterwards.
Access without a university degree
Application period for the aptitude test: November to 31 January
Interested persons without a first university degree qualifying for a profession, but with a university entrance qualification (e.g. Allgemeine Hochschulreife or Meisterprüfung) as well as relevant and qualified professional experience of at least three years, have the opportunity to qualify for the degree programme by passing an aptitude test. In addition, evidence of at least one year of relevant and qualified professional experience in the field of quantum technologies or the underlying technologies must be provided.
Tuition fees
If you do not complete your studies within the standard period of study of 6 semesters, you have the option of extending your studies. In this case, the tuition fee is waived in the 7th semester. From the 8th semester onwards, you pay a reduced tuition fee of 30%. You may apply to pay the tuition fees in instalments. The fees are exempted from German VAT and may be tax-deductible if the legal requirements are fulfilled.
Study materials and on-campus phases
The study materials are included in the fees in digital and/or printed form. The fees do not include travel and accommodation expenses or meal allowances during the on-campus phases.
