Quantum Technology Msc in University of Glasgow, UK

Quantum Technology Msc in University of Glasgow

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.

• The School has an Athena Swan Silver Award, demonstrating the School’s support for women in scientific studies and careers, and to improve the working environment for all.
• This programme equips students with an interdisciplinary perspective of the physics and engineering skills needed in the field of quantum technologies.
• 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 have the opportunity to engage with companies at the forefront of Quantum Technology activities within the UK and worldwide. Some MSc projects may also be available that are co-supervised with industry. The Glasgow-led Quantum Technology hub (QuantIC) has engagement with over 50 companies in the UK/worldwide.
• 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.

CAREER PROSPECTS

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)
• DSTL (Defence & Security)
• National Physical Laboratory (National Standards laboratory)
• Bridgeporth (Environmental monitoring)
• Clydespace (space technology)
• Schlumberger (seismic monitoring)
• M-squared (sources and detectors)
• Coherent (sources and detectors)
• Photon Force (sources and detectors)
• ST Micro (nanofabrication)
• Kelvin Nanotechnology (nanofabrication)

Our graduating students working within this area have an excellent track record of further academic study (postdoctoral research posts or academic positions) and employment within industry.
