Stage 1

The Professional Diploma in Quantum Engineering PT is a Single-Stage 20-credit Level 9 Part-time programme. This programme can be completed over one or two years (up to four trimesters). To be eligible for the award of this Professional Diploma students must complete the required 20 credits within the two-year registration period. All students must take the REQUIRED module EEEN40690 Quantum Computing. Students are encouraged to take a minimum of one module per trimester to ensure a balanced workload across the two-year registration period. ***However, any students wishing to complete the programme WITHIN one year (two trimesters) should take two modules per trimester to ensure a balanced workload and must take the REQUIRED module EEEN40690 Quantum Computing.
