What you will study
Quantum Information Science at DTU is a two-year MSc programme run jointly with the University of Copenhagen. It is taught in English and mixes computer science, mathematics and physics. The programme is the first of its kind in Denmark, and only a few universities worldwide offer something similar.
What you study
The curriculum covers theoretical, technological and experimental sides of quantum information. You can specialise in a theoretical direction within computer science, mathematics or physics, or take a more technological or experimental route. The programme gives you both theoretical and practical grounding in the field. You will look at academic and commercial perspectives, and you may work on quantum computers, quantum software and algorithms, or quantum communication.
How the programme is organised
The full structure is set out on the University of Copenhagen's programme page. The degree is a joint MSc, so you study across both institutions. Teaching is in English. The programme is interdisciplinary, drawing on three subject areas, and you choose a specialisation that fits your background and interests.
Who it suits
It suits students who want to work in a scientific field with growing job opportunities and large investments worldwide. You should be comfortable moving between computer science, mathematics and physics, and ready to choose a theoretical or experimental path. The programme is for people who want to explore both academic and commercial sides of quantum information.
