Career opportunities and further studies

The programme is one of the very few master's programmes in the country that offer a comprehensive focus on quantum technology. The programme option provides you with a solid foundation for working with quantum physics itself and for using quantum physics as a basis for quantum technology.

You will be able to work with quantum physics and quantum technology from both a theoretical and a practical perspective, and further specialise in experimental, numerical, or theoretical directions.

A master's degree in quantum science and technology will open up many interesting job opportunities. You will gain a relevant background for a wide range of positions in research and development, as well as more analytical roles in business, IT, consulting, and finance.

Former students with a master's or PhD from the Department of Physics work with quantum technology at companies and institutions such as SINTEF, Justervesenet, FFI, Norges Bank, Menon, and DnB. Other relevant Norwegian entities with an interest in this field include Kongsberg, Equinor, DNV, and Cognite.

You will also be qualified to pursue further research education (PhD).

Another option is to supplement your education with a one-year programme in practical pedagogical education, enabling you to work as a teacher in the Norwegian school system.
