Quantum Computing: Current Students (MOCKUP)

Courses Student Support

The Professional Graduate Program in Quantum Computing at the University of Calgary is an intensive, course-based program designed to be completed in one year. As quantum computing technology emerges and gradually becomes commercialized, the program will equip students with the critical expertise needed to apply and integrate quantum technologies with existing IT infrastructure.

As our Graduate Professional Program’s courses are taught according to a non-standard schedule, they have different add, drop, and withdrawal deadlines. Please refer to the Student Centre for deadlines speciﬁc to courses with a non-standard schedule.
