The QTEM overseas study project was launched by the economics and management-related graduate schools in Europe and Asia in 2012. This program is aimed for building a joint scheme for the cultivation of human resources who are active in international society.
Masters students at the participating universities come and go mutually, and undertake a curriculum which is centered on data analysis in particular while participating in the lectures of the destination graduate school. Different to simple language study overseas, this is a project that is also useful in career formation to work at an international company after returning to the home country due to participating in an internship, one of the further requirements, while refining specialist knowledge in areas such as statistics and quantitative economics.
Students who are interested in participating this program are welcome to come to the office for the application procedures at the Graduate School of Commerce office.
Waseda University is one of the QTEM partner schools and recruit participants every year. Different to simple language study overseas, this is a project that is also useful in your career formation to work at an international company after returning to the home country due to participating in an internship, one of the further requirements, while refining specialist knowledge in the areas of statistics and quantitative economics.
