How to apply to the Master in Actuarial Sciences?

Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or Economics/Finance. Applicants must demonstrate an adequate scientific background in the relevant mathematical topics, in particular in probability and mathematical statistics. Refresher courses, including a one-week bootcamp in Economics and a one-week bootcamp in Mathematics, will be offered at the beginning of the first year to fill any gaps in mathematical education. These courses will be offered together with the master programme in Data Science to effectively use the teaching capacities.

English: B2
If the Bachelor’s was taught through English, a document from the previous University/Institution attesting completion of the programme is needed.
