Master in Actuarial Sciences

Launched in September 2026, the Master in Actuarial Sciences is supported jointly by the University's Departments of Mathematics, Finance, and Economics and Management. It brings together mathematics, data science, economics, finance and insurance practice, with a substantial data-science component and attention to emerging risks such as systemic risk, cyber security and climate change. Courses are taught by academics and by practitioners from the sector and include actuarial practice and insurance regulation. The programme follows the core syllabus of the Actuarial Association of Europe and was developed with the Luxembourg Institute of Actuaries, and the University presents it as a route towards official certification as an actuary. Teaching is in English, and part-time status is allowed. Graduates are prepared for positions in the insurance and financial industry, chiefly as actuaries, and may also continue to a PhD in mathematics or a related field.
