Course contents

The Master's Degree Program in Quantitative Finance and Insurance was created to provide personnel capable of dealing with complex issues related to financial decision-making under varying levels of uncertainty and more or less structured conditions. It is divided into two curricula to allow adherence to different operational environments with diverse types of uncertainty, such as
the essentially financial one and the insurance one. Within each of the two curricula there is considerable polyvalence, but there is room for individual choices to better specify the desired area of expertise. It results from the transformation of previous similar courses that have effectively helped fill a void in the national and, so far, local labor market: the course will continue to serve that function.
Employment outlets and professional activities envisaged by the master's degree program in Quantitative Finance and Insurance for the ACTUARIAN are mainly in insurance and reinsurance companies as actuaries; professional activities in the liberal professions in the financial and actuarial area; domestic and international ordinary, medium-credit and merchant banks; financial brokerage and investment advisory firms; private companies in corporate financial services; public and social security institutions; pension funds; financial and insurance supervisory institutions; financial and insurance study offices; other financial, insurance and social security institutions and companies.
