What is "qem"

The QEM, also known as Erasmus Mundus QEM, is an Erasmus Mundus post-graduate Master's degree offered by a consortium of four universities: Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (co-ordinating institution), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universität Bielefeld, and the Università Ca' Foscari Venezia with a network of Associated Partners consisting of international academic institutions as well as public and private companies. The QEM students are required to study at two of the four participating universities of the Consortium. This academic mobility enables students to benefit from the diversity in strengths of each university on a wide range of issues, and to meet and work with professionals from various backgrounds. In particular, it provides the students the opportunity to learn and integrate with different European cultures. Upon successfully completing the programme, students are awarded a QEM Joint Degree from the partners of the consortium. The QEM consortium provides extensive career assistance to the students, including help with internships and job placement for graduates. The language of instruction is English and the partner universities also provide European language courses for graduates.
