Program details

Overview

This Master trains future actuaries and risk managers with a complete, interdisciplinary curriculum. Actuaries assess the financial impact of risk and uncertainty, typically in insurance companies, multinationals and pension funds. Courses combine technical and quantitative content with financial and insurance regulation, life and non-life insurance applications, valuation and risk management. Most subjects rely on applied mathematics, complemented by finance, statistics, economics, data analysis, management and information technology. Guest lectures from practising actuaries, programming courses in R and Python and individual projects complete the training. The programme is designed to meet professional requirements for actuarial expertise. English at C1 level is required.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Bachelor's degree from a Swiss haute ecole universitaire in economics, business management, business informatics, finance or mathematics. Degrees from foreign universities may be judged equivalent and admitted with or without conditions.
