MA/MS in Aktuarwissenschaften

This part-time master's programme in actuarial science is aimed at working professionals and is run by the School of Advanced Professional Studies, a joint centre of Ulm University and Ulm University of Applied Sciences. It teaches insurance mathematics together with data science, information processing and an understanding of economic questions. Graduates are prepared to assess and manage financial risk, for example in insurance companies, banks, building societies and company pension schemes. Teaching uses a blended-learning format that combines attendance events with e-learning, so students can organise much of their study time themselves. The programme is built from modules that can each be booked individually, and the order and number per semester are largely up to the student. Examinations passed for the German Actuarial Association can be credited toward the degree, which shortens the remaining coursework to a few modules and the master's thesis.
