QMI Master's Degree

Who can apply

To apply, you should have completed (or be completing) the first year of a Master (or an equivalent degree abroad) in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field. It is preferrable that you have followed at least one quantum theory course already (see the FAQ for more information).

How to apply

We are currently welcoming applications to the QMI M2 for the 2025-2026 academic year. All applications should be made through the IPP platform.

Your application file has to include:

• your CV;
• a motivation letter;
• your transcripts from previous years (at least L3/M1);
• if available, a scientific report you recently wrote (for instance following a Bachelor thesis, a research internship, etc).

The CV should include the names of two researchers that we can contact for further reference.

Advice on writing your motivation letter

Your motivation letter should demonstrate your ability to follow the program, and explain why you would like to join QMI. It should include a paragraph explaining your past curriculum, and a paragraph explaining what you would like to do after your Master's. It can also mention, for instance, what your favourite domains are among the ones covered in our curriculum. Concrete elements demonstrating your ability or your motivation (awards, internship experiences, readings...) are very appreciated.

Use of AI tools: We strongly discourage the use of ChatGPT or other generative AI tools to write your motivation letter. This is not because we find their use illegitimate, but because they usually produce empty texts containing no actual salient information, which makes it very difficult for us to assess your application.
