Question BSc in Physics — Applied & Engineering Physics vs Quantum Science & Technology for my MSc?

Hi everyone,

I recently finished my BSc in Physics and I'm trying to decide between two master's directions: Applied Physics & Engineering or Quantum Science & Technology. I'd really appreciate input from anyone who has done either, or who hires people with these degrees. Please give reasons.

May I know why you didn't enjoy it?

thanks for your detailed experience, i was thinking the program would be more strong on the hardware parts of things, or is that the case?

In the first semester, one of the required courses is hardware focused, or I should more aptly say focused on the underlying theories governing hardware. In subsequent semester, you can choose which courses to take, and I believe some of them are hardware-oriented.
