To obtain the MQIST degree, it is necessary to complete 60 ECTS credits, divided as follows:
- 15 compulsory credit,
- 27 elective credits,
- 3 mandatory external internship credits
- 15 Master’s Thesis credits.
All courses are worth 3 ECTS credits.
The MQIST master’s degree program does not include specializations or mentions, so the obtained degree name is unique. Beyond the mandatory courses, each student is free to design their own curriculum.
However, as a guideline, certain courses have been grouped to create three entirely voluntary elective pathways. The completion of these pathways will not be reflected in the Master’s degree, but it will be noted in the European Diploma Supplement. The modules associated with these pathways are:
- Quantum Computing
- Quantum Communications
- Quantum Information Physics
To complete a pathway and receive the corresponding mention, students must take the 15 elective credits from the corresponding module and complete them with any other elective course.
