The QUARMEN master (QUAntum Research Master Education Network) is a two-year international master’s programme in physics, specialized in Quantum Science and Technology. It aims at training students in key concepts and technologies for quantum devices and information. It is not possible to enter directly in the second year of the programme.
Quantum science and technology in one of the fastest progressing fields of knowledge, and structuring research and development in this field is one of Europe’s priorities. In this context, QUARMEN attendees will be ready to develop innovative ideas and will have the opportunity of being directly involved in the activity of industrial and academic laboratories.
The medium of instruction is English.
Scholarships are available.
