Studying quantum – pathways to a career in quantum technology

Whether your passion is in the natural sciences, computer science, mathematics, or engineering, studying quantum opens up a world of fascinating possibilities.

CSIRO estimates Australia’s quantum technology industry has the potential to support 16,000 jobs and generate $4 billion annual revenue by 2040.

At this online event designed for high school leavers and undergraduate students, you can learn how to study your way into this emerging industry. We'll explore the quantum study opportunities available at Sydney Quantum Academy partner universities (UNSW Sydney, UTS, Macquarie University and the University of Sydney). 

Learn more about:

• What each university has to offer at the undergraduate and postgraduate level (eg quantum courses and specialised units for cross-institutional study)
• Sydney Quantum Academy student programs and scholarships
• How to make the most out of the student experience to boost your employability.
