Course quant rating
Quantitative courses are those rated “highly quantitative” or “semi-quantitative” by the home institution and located in the QTEM course database:
Highly quantitative courses
Courses involving as a core component the processing (identification, collection, transformation and/or presentation for decision making) of large datasets, theoretical modelling or simulations, using analytical tools and methodologies
Examples: Quantitative finance; Financial econometrics
Semi-quantitative courses
Courses involving some processing (identification, collection, transformation and/or presentation for decision making) of data, theoretical modelling or simulations but to a lesser extent than a highly quantitative course (e.g., not at the core of the course, or using limited datasets)
Examples: Merger and acquisition; Control and planning
Rule for course selection
Courses will only be validated once confirmed by your QTEM local Coordinator.
During your QTEM Master, you have to select courses in the QTEM course database, to reach a minimum of 50% quantitative credits, including a minimum of 22 quantitative credits on average per QTEM exchange. Courses tagged “highly quantitative” or “semi-quantitative” qualify for quantitative credits.
You must also complete a minimum of one general QTEM Module. A general QTEM Module is awarded once you reach 20 credits of courses in the same module across your QTEM Master. The maximum number of general QTEM Modules awarded is two. Students check with their QTEM Local Coordinator regarding the completion of a general QTEM Module.
Some universities have particular rules for course selection, please refer to the academic calendars page and the profile page of each institution.
