Qualification Requirements


Previous Degree

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent).

Required ECTS credits: 180.

Proof of:

  1. Competences on a scale totalling at least 29 ECTS from modules in fundamentals of nanosciences and further related basic and advanced modules.
  2. Competences on a scale totalling at least 27 ECTS from modules in chemistry.
  3. Competences on a scale totalling at least 27 ECTS from modules in the following sub-areas of experimental physics: Mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, atomic and molecular physics, and solid state physics.
  4. Competences on a scale of at least 12 ECTS from modules in the following sub-areas of theoretical physics: Theoretical quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics.
  5. Competences on a scale of at least 18 ECTS from modules in the following sub-areas of mathematics: Analysis, linear algebra, differential equations.
  6. Competences on a scale of at least a further 18 ECTS from physics or engineering laboratory courses or as well as industrial internships, and
  7. A thesis on a scale of at least 10 ECTS on a topic from a sub-area of ​​nanostructure technology or in the case of an interdisciplinary thesis on a topic in which methods of nanosciences are essentially applied, according to the ECTS credits scheme used at JMU for the B.Sc. in Nanotechnology or – in the case of programs not modularised within the meaning of the ECTS credits scheme – competences on the corresponding scale (as a rule acquired in the framework of the first degree). The required competencies are taught at JMU in particular in the framework of the B.Sc. in Nanotechnology (180 ECTS credits).

Additional information:
English language proficiency can also be proven with a grade in English of at least ‘Satisfactory’ (befriedigend; equivalent to at least 7 out of 15 points) as part of a German higher education entrance qualification, or a foreign higher education entrance qualification with proof of English language proficiency which is at least equivalent to the above-mentioned higher education entrance qualification, or proof that training (in particular in the framework of the first degree) has been or is being completed, in which English language skills on the level specified are taught. It is recommended that applicants who have not obtained their higher education entrance qualification or a relevant first degree at a German-speaking institution acquire sufficient knowledge of the German language in the course of the first study year (e.g. Level B2 of the Common Framework of Reference for Languages [CEFR]). Proof of German language proficiency is not required for admission to the MSc in Quantum Engineering.
