University Program Overview

The university offers a Master of Science in Actuarial Science (MScAS) and a Doctoral program in Actuarial Science. The MScAS is designed for students who aspire to become actuaries and have a bachelor's degree in economics, mathematics, statistics, or related fields. The doctoral program is geared towards students who wish to conduct research in actuarial science and related fields, with applications in insurance, pension planning, social security, and finance.

Master of Science in Actuarial Science

The Master's program in Actuarial Science aims to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the principles and techniques necessary for managing insurance companies and financial institutions, such as pension funds or social security systems. While applied mathematics is the primary tool of the actuary, a strong foundation in management, economics, and computer science is also essential for professional competence.

Program Objectives

• The program focuses on providing students with a comprehensive understanding of actuarial principles and techniques.
• It aims to equip students with the necessary skills to manage insurance companies and financial institutions.
• The program also emphasizes the importance of applied mathematics, management, economics, and computer science in actuarial science.

Doctoral Program in Actuarial Science

The doctoral program at the Department of Actuarial Science offers candidates the opportunity to acquire advanced knowledge through rigorous research training. The department provides a stimulating and productive research environment where doctoral candidates work closely with professors. Research areas include both theoretical subjects (e.g., risk theory, credibility theory, financial mathematics, statistics) and applied topics (e.g., evaluation of insurance companies and pension funds, financial markets and services, insurance products).
