Description
Quantum physics deals with the behaviour of particles and energy at the smallest scales, at the level of atoms and subatomic particles. In this specialisation, you will dive deeper into concepts like quantum computing, quantum sensors, quantum communication, and related phenomena, such as the Spin Hall effect, weak localisation and the Aharanov-Bohm effect: phenomena that seemingly cannot be explained in the context of classical physics. You will learn to deal with these very complex and often counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics. Albert Einstein didn’t call entanglement the ‘spooky action a distance’ for no reason!
In today’s world, quantum physics has become a crucial area for both scientific discovery and technological progress. Especially since advances in the field of nanotechnology have enabled us to explore and manipulate quantum phenomena with greater precision, allowing us to enter the second quantum revolution (Quantum 2.0.). Can big data security issues be resolved with quantum cryptography? Could quantum computing help to achieve breakthroughs in medicine? And what about finding new materials, like superconductors that can help create electricity at room temperature? If you want to gain a profound understanding of quantum mechanics and discover its potential for our society, the specialisation in Quantum Physics is the right choice for you.
Requirement
BSC Certififcate/Transcript, CV, Recommendation letter
A copy of your High School Diploma (O LEVEL & A LEVEL) e.g (WAEC, NECO, SAT, KCSE, ZIMSEC, GCE)
A copy of your International passport Bio-data page.
A copy of your recent Passport Photo.
A valid copy of your Result Checker Card.
All applicants for undergraduate degree courses must possess a minimum qualification of five (5) credits, in the Senior Secondary School Certificate (WAEC, NECO, SAT, KCSE, ZIMSEC, GCE).
To be considered for admission to a MSc programme, applicants should have a 4 year Bachelor degree (Honours) with a final cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.8/5.0 or 75%.
Success in your studies requires a high level of English proficiency. Therefore, prospective master's students with an international degree must meet the English language requirement. The application will only be processed when the English language requirements have been met, the University of Twente does not offer possible conditional admission if the English language requirement is not met.
Twente Scholarship (UTS)
Study choice calendar
The University Twente Scholarship (UTS) is a scholarship for excellent students from non-EU/EER countries, applying for a graduate programme (MSc) at the University of Twente.
Become one of the most promising UT students.
Exclusive opportunity to take part in an intake for one of the three honours programmes: Research honours, Design honours, or Change leaders.
Scholarship value
Two-year study programme
In case of a two-year study programme, students can receive an additional UTS of an amount equal to that in the first year to cover the expenses of the second year. However, the scholarship will only be continued during the second year when students meet the process requirements for the UTS.
