Master of Science in Quantum Software Engineering and Computer Science

The future of software is Quantum computing. This program is the first of its kind and seeks to simultaneously prepare students with the software engineering and leadership skills necessary for the quantum future. The dynamic and innovative software systems of the future will require a particular kind of individual who possesses in-depth technical knowledge, a holistic approach to solving complex problems, and excellent leadership abilities.

MSc Science in Quantum Software Engineering and Computer Science (QSECS)

It is the ideal program for a physicist with strong coding skills or a computer scientist willing to explore quantum computing.

To prepare students for the role of leaders in research and industry, the QSECS master’s program provides a strong software engineering curriculum that covers development and management, and core technical courses in quantum technology. The main areas of research are: Advances in Software Engineering, Quantum Informatics, Capstone Project , Agile Product Development & Design, Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship

Courses are taught by experts in the field, including permanent Constructor faculty and guest lecturers from various companies. The program mode is hybrid, allowing students to participate in lectures on-site, online, and in a hybrid way, as they are broadcasted and recorded simultaneously. Among others, a substantial advantage of hybrid pedagogy is it allows the students to start the program before their visa process is completed.

The course teaches students how to effectively design reliable systems that meet the needs of producers and customers, developing solutions to agreed-upon problems with industry partners and laboratories that act as clients. Working closely with instructors and assistants, students are mentored and work in a modern environment supported by open-source IDEs and engineering tools.
