I am thankful for the opportunity the QEM program provided me to study at two European universities, preparing me well for further doctoral studies. Besides the academic aspect, I also valued the friendships I made and the cultural experiences I gained during my time in Spain and Italy.

For prospective QEM students, I advise being prepared for the demanding coursework taught at the Ph.D. level. However, the skills gained during the program are invaluable for future academic paths.

We are excited to feature the testimonial of Oksana Bashchenko, a proud alumni of the QEM Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree (EMJMD) program. Oksana, who pursued her QEM journey from 2014 to 2016, is currently a Ph.D. student at the Swiss Finance Institute.
