Testimonials

"QTEM was undoubtably the gateway to my international professional career. Not only does the program enable you to study abroad strengthening your analytical and quantitative skills in the best schools in the world, but also it provides you with an extremely valuable network of corporate partners and successful alumni to interact with. "

José Andrade (Director, Morgan Stanley, London)

"The QTEM Program has allowed me to excel in my analytical competencies and shape my path into areas that I consider truly interesting, mainly because of the different schools I have studied in and the different specialisations one can do throughout the programme. Additionally, the growing recognition by the different academic partners and its alumni has contributed actively to differentiate my profile when I entered the job market."

Pedro Alvarilhão (Business Analyst, McKinsey & Company, Lisbon)

"More than a master programme, QTEM is an experience. Doing QTEM allowed me to study in three different universities, experience different teaching methods, meeting students and companies in several parts of the world. Besides the personal fulfillment, QTEM gave me the opportunity to develop my quantitative skills and my knowledge in different fields of Economics, contributing decisively for my professional career."

Catarina Martins (Market Operations Analyst, European Central Bank, Frankfurt)

"The QTEM programme offers a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills, from analytical to soft skills, immersed in an international environment. All this at an inviting cost (especially when compared to attending a full programme abroad) and with the confidence that you will get good quality teaching wherever you go." in Fepiano & Vida Económica, 22/10/2021
