Quantum technologies such as computing, metrology and communications have the potential to vastly change society, as they cause a transition to the Quantum Age. By exploiting quantum phenomena, society altering technologies such as unbreakable cryptography or exponentially faster computers are poised to become accessible. Recently, many of the technologies have matured to the point that a commercial quantum industry is emerging. This has been met with huge investments from government and industry domestically and internationally.

The coming Quantum Age will require a new technically skilled workforce with the expertise required to design and build the precision instrumentation required to serve the needs of this new and rapidly evolving industry. The impact of quantum technologies will also demand responses from knowledgeable individuals within government, defense, finance, professional services and related sectors. The Masters of Science (Advanced) in Quantum Technology and Instrumentation degree will equip graduates with the required skills and knowledge of the scientific, technical, business and societal aspects to be highly competitive in the emerging quantum industries and related precision instrumentation fields of the present day and the future.

This Advanced program incorporates a research project and thesis.
