Module Outline

The research project in Quantum Technology is a major research project carried out under the supervision of a member of faculty or postdoctoral researcher, with a substantial degree of independence. Via research activities, the MSc-candidate will familiarize themselves with a new field of research, exploit research tools appropriate for the specific subject field and produce an original result in the context of the different aspects of modern Quantum Technology. The project also represents the first practical application of the knowledge and skills acquired during the course. The drafting of a
substantial research thesis is the final MSc deliverable.
