MSc Programme in Actuarial Mathematics
At the end of the course the student is expected to have:
Knowledge:
Knowledge about selected topics in modern life insurance
mathematics.
Skills:
Skills to formulate practical problems in life insurance
mathematics in a theoretical framework.
Skills to orally present the key aspects of the topics covered in
the course and to apply theory from the course.
Competences:
The course will strengthen the student's competences to
navigate inside the classic Markov life insurance setup and develop
the student's ability to formulate and handle new models inside
this setup.
5 hours of lectures each week for 7 weeks. In addition to this, a total of 2 x 2 hours of exercise classes where the students can work on their mandatory homework set.
The course literature will primarily consist of research papers from actuarial journals, which will be made available on Absalon.
