Quantum engineering is a revolutionary approach to quantum technology. It encompasses both fundamental physics and the broad engineering skill-set necessary to meet the practical challenges of the future.

A quantum engineer will be fluent in quantum mechanics, electrical and electronic engineering, systems engineering and computer science as well as other physical sciences. Through world-leading academic research, as well as partnering with some of industry's most important companies, the Quantum Engineering CDT in Bristol has created an environment that delivers a unique training and development experience. Underpinned by world-class research and industrial expertise, our four-year doctoral programme offers a stimulating experience for those seeking academic excellence and a route into the growing quantum technologies industry.

 Our strong and extensive strong network of academic and industrial partners provides the opportunity to collaborate on cutting-edge science. Students will also be supported to develop a range of complementary skills including entrepreneurial business skills, knowledge of commercialisation, creative thinking, teamwork, communication skills and project management.

The most influential players from academia and industry have helped to shape our vision, stressing that it is essential that future quantum scientists are able to display multidisciplinarity, and are exposed to a wide spectrum of research tools, techniques and environments. In short, they have told us they need quantum engineers.
