Presentation

Apart from traditional life and non-life insurance products, new challenges related to systemic risk, cyber security and climate change will strongly affect the future of the actuarial profession. Insurance companies will need actuaries to analyse a large amount of information, stemming from medical to property data, to better develop new products and to make more accurate projections of future risks. This Master will combine modern methods of mathematics and data science, knowledge in economics and finance, and contemporary skills in insurance practice, to meet the competitive standards of the actuarial profession.
