Curriculum
PhD students of the IMPRS for Quantum Science and Technology are part of a vibrant scientific community and benefit from an educational program that complements their individual research projects. The curriculum provides opportunities to deepen their knowledge in quantum science and technology, develop transferable skills, and engage with the broader scientific community.
The curriculum includes:
-
Courses in Quantum Science and Technology: PhD students are recommended to attend four courses from the elective modules of the QST Master’s Program. At least two courses are mandatory. The remaining two courses may be replaced by participation in summer schools, group seminars, scientific workshops, or other activities with a comparable workload. Teaching or tutorials for courses included in the curriculum also count as course participation.
-
IMPRS & MCQST Summer School: Participation in the summer school is part of the curriculum.
-
Scientific workshops and seminars: Regular participation in scientific workshops, seminars, and other academic activities organized by IMPRS and MCQST is encouraged.
-
Soft-skills and interdisciplinary training: Students can take advantage of training offered by IMPRS, MCQST, TUM Graduate School, and the LMU Graduate Center.
-
Research visits and stays: International research visits and stays are highly encouraged to foster scientific exchange and collaboration.
The curriculum is designed to be flexible and to allow students to tailor their educational activities to their individual research interests and needs.
