Student Voices: Insights into the Quantum Science program
...I love living in Siegen...
I chose to study at the University of Siegen because of its research and innovation in Quantum Science. The faculty here is very knowledgeable and supportive, which has greatly improved my learning experience. At this university, we can choose our courses, making it easier to build our knowledge at our own pace. I really like how my colleagues help me with my studies, and the professors are always willing to clear my doubts during their free time. I would highly recommend the University of Siegen to anyone looking to advance their education in Quantum Computing, as the university has its own Quantum Computer. Besides that, I love living in Siegen for its beautiful nature, less crowded atmosphere, and good road connectivity.

The current examination regulations always apply to you.
Departmental Examination Regulations/Degree Plans/Module Handbooks/Internship Regulations
Departmental Examination Regulations (known in German as Fachprüfungsordnungen, or FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (including admission requirements and curriculum). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enroll for their first semester. Even if a new FPO is issued during your studies, you will still be subject to the rules of the original version according to which you enrolled (presuming the FPO has not otherwise been revoked).
Each degree plan represents the recommended ideal course of study for a given subject and is a constituent part of any FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module (such as requirements for taking a written examination and the content of the modules/events) can be found in the module handbooks.
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you review the degree plan for your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies
