QTEM - the elite networked Master in Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management - focuses on developing skills in analytical and quantitative techniques to support decision-making in a global context.

Therefore, the internship must be related to a quantitative topic and have a significant quantitative content. Knowing QTEM internship is a key part of the curriculum of all QTEM Students,it will also involve a formal evaluation from both the corporation/institution and the Academic Partner, as well as the writing by the QTEM Student of aninternship report.

The QTEM internship report will take the form of a PowerPoint presentation of maximum 20 slides, containing the following sections:

  1. Executive summary
  2. Problem statement and context (industry and company)
  3. Information/data search
  4. Analysis and methodology
  5. Main results and conclusion
  6. Business recommendations
  7. Original contribution and value added to the company

Unless otherwise requested by the company, the QTEM internship report may be shared amongst the network members and become part of the QTEM Knowledge Platform. Therefore, the QTEM Student is requested to keep all confidential information out of the internship report.

Please find enclosed the QTEM internship form.

We kindly ask you to complete the part 3 of the form: “Company Confirmation”,in order to validate the internship proposition presented in part 1: “Initial Job Information”,and approved by the QTEM Academic Partner (part 2: “Academic Confirmation”). At the end of the internship, the company is kindly asked to complete and sign part 4: “CompanyEvaluation”,and to send it back to the person responsible for the internship at the Academic Partner (the contact details are indicated in part 1: “Initial Job Information”).
