Présentation
The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree - Models and Methods of Quantitative Economics (EMJMD QEM)
About the EMJMD QEM
The EMJMD QEM is a Master degree program in Economics co-funded by the Erasmus+ ERASMUS MUNDUS program of the European Union, approved by The Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) under the Erasmus +: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) brand. It is a true joint full-time advanced Master Degree in economics for elite cohorts of students with many specializations. All scientific courses are taught in English. The EMJMD QEM program is designed by a Consortium of five Partner Universities from 5 European countries [Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain), Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Paris, France) Université catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) and Università Ca' Foscari Venezia (Venice, Italy), and Warsaw School of Economics (Warsaw, Poland)] with a network of Associated Partners consisting of international academic institutions as well as public and private companies.
The EMJMD QEM program offers a rigorous education in fundamental quantitative tools by combining core economic theory with related quantitative disciplines (Probability, Statistics, Econometrics, Finance, Actuarial Science, Mathematical Modelling, Computation and Simulation, Experimental Design, and Political Science. The range of courses offers students the opportunity to specialize in these many areas according to their interests and several course tracks. These areas of specialization in economics are increasingly vital in further research studies and the job market in government organizations, private companies, or financial institutions.
The course prepares students to utilize their competency in economics, including economic theory, macroeconomics, Financial economics, financial forecasting, financial engineering and risk management, quantitative asset management, computational economics, quantitative economics trading, and applied and theoretical research.
DURING THEIR TWO-YEAR STUDY, the QEM students can spend between one semester and three semesters at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. The mobility between at least two partner universities of the COnsortium is mandatory. For a complete presentation of the program, please consult the webpage https://master-economics-qem.eu/

Programme
Course of Study
Courses are taught in English and are structured according to the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) with 120 credits for the two years.

First semester in a partner University (30 credits) and the second semester in another partner University (30 credits):
56 ECTS Credits of Scientific Courses: 7 x 7 Credits mandatory + 7 Credits elective
The first year is focused on building a solid foundation in Economics and quantitative methods, thus there are seven mandatory courses and each are awarded 7 ECTS credits (7 x 7). Four of these mandatory courses are taken during the first semester and three are taken during the second semester. The remaining 7 ECTS are allocated to elective courses (which vary by institution, see below).
4 ECTS Credits of Foreign Language Courses: 2 x 2 Credits mandatory
