Quantum technology has the power to transform the way we live and work. This exciting and rapidly growing field could help solve global issues – from making powerful medicines, understanding chemical reactions, creating better batteries and materials, to reducing our carbon footprint, and beyond. On this course, you’ll explore the fascinating world of quantum technology and also gain a broad understanding of the core principles of physics. Throughout your studies, you’ll:
This course is for you if want to change the world and help make quantum technologies a reality. The degree offers you the exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge quantum technology research here at Sussex each summer, and get funding to cover your living expenses during that time. It might even be possible to work in your research group during term time, provided you excel in your studies and have extra time you’d like to dedicate to research.
We are the first UK university to offer undergraduate students quantum technology research experience from day one of your degree. You’ll join one of our quantum technology research groups and learn from world-leading researchers and key influencers in industry. Our research informs your modules. From quantum computers to quantum sensors, and from atomic clocks to the quantum internet, this degree helps you understand and develop a whole new generation of technologies, based on the strange properties of quantum physics. You’ll benefit from the expertise in the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies.
Your broad training in physics equips you for a wide range of careers, while your specialisation in quantum technology will allow you to join the expanding quantum technology sector. During your research placements and integrated Masters year, you’ll develop new research skills – particularly relevant if you’re interested in going on to a research career at universities or in industry.
- use the latest equipment and state-of-the-art laboratories
- gain a broad range of skills in theoretical and experimental physics
- develop specialist knowledge in quantum technologies
- learn to apply your knowledge and skills in real-world applications and in industry
- benefit from our strong links with industry and international collaborators.
