Course summary
Why choose this course Our BSc and MPhys Physics with Quantum Technologies courses teach you about the quantum world, opening the door to a wealth of opportunities in both industry and academia. Quantum technologies harness the unusual features of the quantum world to perform tasks that are difficult with conventional technologies alone. These courses cover the full spectrum of this exciting and rapidly developing field – from lasers and photonics to quantum information and quantum computing. Two unique aspects of both courses are: -Our award-winning Professional Training placements: --Within the BSc, the option to take a paid Professional Training placement in industry gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability. --On our MPhys, you’ll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions. -Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation: --All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for paid 8-10 week summer research placements in our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners. --We offer in-house grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea. What you will study This course combines elements of traditional physics with the study of quantum technologies, providing students with the ideal foundation to start a career in this emerging field. You’ll learn about existing quantum technologies, such as the devices used to transmit internet data and those behind the lasers in Blu-ray players. During your first year, you can switch between any of our specialist physics courses. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MPhys. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification. On an MPhys, you’ll spend a year doing integrated research before returning for your final masters-level modules. You may have the option to switch to a BSc or MPhys during your studies.
