Ulm University - Class instead of masses

Great in research, attractive in teaching, and growing internationally! Since its foundation in 1967, Baden-Württemberg's youngest university has experienced a remarkable upward trend. At present, around 10,000 students are enrolled in the faculties of Medicine, Engineering, Computer Science and Psychology, Mathematics and Economics, and Natural Sciences. 

Manageable student numbers and a favorable supervision ratio between university lecturers and students ensure that you do not have to complete your studies with us in a mass system. There are no overcrowded lecture halls and long waiting times for seminar places or theses. In addition, the friendly atmosphere creates ideal learning conditions.

Start in the master programme is possible also in the summer semester

Our Master's program in QE starts in both the winter and summer semesters. This means that you will not have any unnecessary waiting times! The Admission Regulations allow you flexibility even if you have not yet completed your Bachelor's degree.

At the beginning of the programme, students complete courses from an adaptation area, the scope and content of which is determined by whether admission to the master's programme is based on a bachelor's degree in physics or in engineering. The adaptation area is designed to provide students from diverse backgrounds with the skills necessary to successfully complete the master's programme. In addition to the interdisciplinary core courses in quantum engineering, students can select advanced courses from the extensive range of quantum physics and engineering modules. 

In the second year, students have the opportunity to conduct research at the academic level by completing an independent research project, or they can complete an internship at an external institute or in industry. Alternatively, students can apply for an exchange programme and spend the third semester abroad at a partner university. Students complete this strongly research-oriented programme with the 6-month Master's Thesis.

Knowledge: graduates have in-depth and extensive knowledge of engineering, physics and quantum technologies. Thus, they are qualified for scientific work and responsible positions in their professional careers. They possess a critical mindset towards newer developments in their discipline.

Skills: graduates will be able to

  • apply innovative approaches to solve fundamental problems and develop new scientific methods in the emerging field of quantum technologies;
  • develop conceptual designs and solutions to complex, sometimes unusual, problems in interdisciplinary areas;
  • create and develop new products, processes, and methods.

 

Semester abroad? Why not! Our exchange programmes offer various opportunities to meet people from different cultures and improve your language and intercultural skills. It is well worth your time to go abroad and expand your horizon, both on a personal and professional level.

The many international students on our campus also create an international flair.  The International Office is here to support both incoming and outgoing students, please check their homepoge for more information about the exchange programmes.
