Internship / QuanTech Workshop

Quantum Engineering students are required to perform either (i) an ETH QuanTech workshop or (ii) an internship in industry. Each option amounts to 12 ECTS credit points.

(i) The QuanTech Workshop can be performed in parallel with classes. Admission to the QuanTech Workshops is limited and the selection is made based on a proposal.

The mission of the ETH based QuanTech workshops is project-oriented learning. Students will work in teams (2-4 students), consisting of engineers and physicists, and jointly tackle a quantum engineering challenge. The course Case Studies: Applications of Quantum Technology prepares students for the QuanTech Workshops and the drafting of the proposals.  

(ii) The industry internship is full-time. It cannot be combined with classes and should be primarily technical in nature. Below are some of our industry partners.
