Quantitative Techniques for Economics and Management

The University of Exeter Business School is proud to be a member of the prestigious QTEM Network, offering students from specific programmes the opportunity to take part in the quantitatively focused QTEM Programme.

For my QTEM exchange semester, I studied at the Graduate School of Economics at Waseda University in Japan. While there was no specific programme provided for us, we had a list of highly quantitative modules available and I was able to choose a course that I was interested in. 

For the second half of the QTEM programme, I undertook an internship with FinTech, a start-up company. I focussed on using both alternative and financial data to make quarterly revenue forecasts for several China Concept Stocks. The internship required both financial modelling and data processing skills, both of which I had built and improved on during my time at Exeter and Waseda.
