Module Offer of the M.Sc. Quantum Science & Technology
The Master's students on the interdisciplinary Quantum Science & Technology Master's degree program follow mandatory and elective modules. The structure of the degree program is presented on the page Curriculum.
Mandatory Modules of the M.Sc. Quantum Science & Technology
One of the two mandatory modules worth 10 credit points (CP) must be passed by the end of the second semester. One of the two mandatory modules is offered at the LMU, the other one at the TUM.
During the Winter Semesters 2026/27 and 2027/28, Quantum Information will be taught at LMU Munich, whereas Quantum Hardware will be taught at TUM.
Elective Modules in the Focus Areas of the QST
For the QST Master’s program you have to earn 30 CP (ECTS) in the focus areas. You may choose freely over all focus areas. A maximum of one module from the QST Special Topics catalog can be included in the curriculum. The focus area modules together account for 37.5% of the final grade. If you exceed the area, for example by taking two 10 CP modules, one 9 CP module, and one 5 CP module, the area will still be included in the final grade with a weighting of 37.5%. If additional modules are taken, these will be included as additional modules in the appendix to the ToR. TUMonline automatically selects the best grades for the GPA.
To ensure a broad coverage of topics a consultation by a mentor is required (documented by signature on the mentoring form). Further information on this can be found on the following website Mentors' meeting QST.
The linked application also allows you to view course schedules in a weekly calendar format: Module Catalog for the Quantum Science & Technology degree program.
Modules whose codes begin with “PH7” or “NAT7” are offered by LMU. For these modules, you must also register for the examination via TUMonline. Registration for the course itself, however, takes place via the LMU LSF system.
QST students are enrolled at TUM and are automatically enrolled at LMU as well. Please note that this enrollment process may take several weeks to be completed. Once your LMU enrollment has been processed, you will be able to register for the course through the LSF system.
Advanced Practical Training Quantum Science and Technology, 6 CP
The advanced lab course offers the opportunity to undertake complex physics experiments in our research institutes already during your studies.
Within the Master's program QST 6 units have to be achieved from the FOPRA. In doing so at least two units must be earned from experiments classified as experimental and at least two units from the experiments classified as theoretical. The assignment to the respective classification can be seen in the table with the experiments (Ex = experimental / TH = theory).
We recommend to do the FOPRA in your second semester (SS).
