Physics with Quantum Computing

**Why choose this course**<br/>Our BSc and MPhys Physics with Quantum Technologies courses teach you about the quantum world, opening the door to a wealth of opportunities in both industry and academia.<br/><br/>Quantum technologies harness the unusual features of the quantum world to perform tasks that are difficult with conventional technologies alone.<br/><br/>These courses cover the full spectrum of this exciting and rapidly developing field – from lasers and photonics to quantum information and quantum computing.<br/><br/>Two unique aspects of both courses are:<br/><br/>-Our award-winning Professional Training placements:<br/><br/>--Within the BSc, the option to take a paid Professional Training placement in industry gives you invaluable hands-on experience to enhance your employability.<br/><br/>--On our MPhys, you’ll take a year-long, masters-level integrated research placement. This can be in one of our world-leading research groups or at one of our international partner institutions.<br/><br/>-Our focus on undergraduate research and innovation:<br/><br/>--All undergraduates have the opportunity to apply for paid 8-10 week summer research placements in our research groups and those of our South East Physics Network partners.<br/><br/>--We offer in-house grants that students can apply for to fund a research placement, attend a conference or develop a new business idea.<br/><br/>**What you will study**<br/>This course combines elements of traditional physics with the study of quantum technologies, providing students with the ideal foundation to start a career in this emerging field.<br/><br/>You’ll learn about existing quantum technologies, such as the devices used to transmit internet data and those behind the lasers in Blu-ray players.<br/><br/>During your first year, you can switch between any of our specialist physics courses. You can apply to study for either a BSc or an MPhys. The latter is a direct route to a masters qualification. On an MPhys, you’ll spend a year doing integrated research before returning for your final masters-level modules.<br/><br/>You may have the option to switch to a BSc or MPhys during your studies.
