Quantum Computer Science consists of compulsory core courses, restricted-choice and free-choice courses and a research project. In your first year, you take four compulsory core courses (27 ECTS) and choose 30-33 ECTS from the selection of restricted-choice courses. In the second year, you will work on an individual quantum research project for 30ECTS and can opt for a project extension, internship or free-choice courses for an additional 18ECTS. 

The curriculum of the Master’s Quantum Computer Science leaves ample space for you to explore what you find interesting in and around the fields of quantum computing and quantum information theory.

As part of your second year, you may do an internship at a quantum computing company or related organisation. Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) can facilitate and coordinate a wide range of projects and endeavours with renowned scholars in the field of quantum computer science. An example is the Quantum Application Lab (QAL), situated at Amsterdam Science Park.
