Quantum computing
Over 50 years of advances in mathematics, materials science and computer science have transformed quantum computing from theory to reality. Today, real quantum computers can be accessed through the cloud, and many thousands of people have used them to learn, conduct research and tackle new problems.
Quantum computing could one day provide breakthroughs in many disciplines, including materials and drug discovery, the optimisation of complex systems, and AI. But to realise those breakthroughs and to make quantum computers widely useable and accessible, we need to reimagine information processing and the machines that do it. This course gives students exposure to quantum computing for business and science.

Advantages of the badges for Richfield students
- A Richfield education offers all students who choose to study any one of our IT courses, with the opportunity to receive badges and certification from IBM, AWS, CISCO, Oracle and CIMA – which are some of the world’s leading organisations.
- Courses from these industry-leading organistions are integrated into the Richfield curriculum, meaning students are exposed to more than an ordinary degree, Diploma or Higher Certificate, which helps them tap into their creative thinking and expand on what is being taught to them in more innovative ways.
- These courses also foster a mindset of independence and solutions-driven thinking, through research and the application of real-life scenarios that provide students with an in-depth understanding of the real world of IT.
- The badges and certification, together with a world-class Richfield qualification, makes our students more employable and differentiates them from every other job seeker in the market.
- This partnership bridges the skills gap between academia and the IT industry, as students have the opportunity to enter the job market with confidence, and highly sought-after CVs that are decorated with all the industry-specific badges and certification.
- The badges come at no extra cost to our students. Once students are certified, they are added onto relevant databases, benefiting from embedded job postings and connections to hiring employers.
