Programme information
The role of actuaries is changing. Until recently, actuaries have concentrated on mitigating risk. Now, their role is broader and more proactive: they study market demand and manage return on investment, both in the short and long terms. To do this, they must take a balanced view of both assets and liabilities. The Actuarial Sciences track at Maastricht University is one of only three such studies in the Netherlands, putting it at the cutting edge of its field. Become a ‘financial engineer’: take Actuarial Sciences.
What will you learn?
Keys skills that you will learn include problem solving and the ability to see those problems from more than one point of view. You will also learn how to communicate your opinions and solutions professionally and clearly in order to persuade others of your viewpoint.
At the end of the track, you will be able to:
• break financial problems down into smaller parts in order to solve them
• use a two-pronged approach to financial problems: an asset perspective and a liability perspective
• demonstrate financial expertise in the pension and insurance sectors
