What you will study

The sprint has three self-paced modules and two live sessions designed to fit in any busy schedule.

Each module will include around 30-40 minutes of essential video content and then extra content (such as readings, podcasts, additional videos) if you wish to extend yourself. Workbook activities are comprised of reflective questions that will help you consolidate your learning from the videos and apply this learning to organisations you are familiar with. They should require no more than an hour’s thinking. Workbooks are not assessed. They’re designed to give you chunky questions to think about.

Live sessions will run for around 90 minutes, with additional networking and question time afterwards if you choose to stick around.

Additional activities, such as reading, conversations and bonus content, will allow you to dive deeper into the topic. You’ll have access to the modules after the sprint is complete, so you can always return to the extension activities later.

What you will learn

  • Understand quantum fundamentals: Grasp the core principles of quantum computing, communications and sensing.
  • Identify quantum opportunities: Recognise business problems that quantum technologies have the potential to solve.
  • Navigate quantum risk and security: Develop insights for quantum-safe cryptography, governance and risk mitigation.
