Statistics, Finance and Actuarial sciences

Learning goals The primary educational objective of the course is the students' learning of some actuarial models in the context of both non-life and life insurance mathematics (in particular, those regarding premium calculation and the estimation of the technical reserves) through the use of dedicated or ad hoc implemented software. Knowledge and understanding After attending the course the students know theoretically and know how to deal with topics of particular interest in the actuarial mathematics of life and non life insurance. Applying knowledge and understanding At the end of the course, students are able to construct and apply some evaluation models typical of the actuarial mathematics of life and non life insurance, using specific software as well as to interpret the results. Making judgements Students develop critical skills through the application of different typical actuarial models in life and non life insurance, also using experience data. From the analysis of the results, the students learn a critical vision of the applied evaluation models. Communication skills The students, through the study and practical application, acquire the technical language of the discipline, which must be used appropriately in the final test. Communication skills are also developed through group activities. Learning skills Students passing the exam have learned knowledge and method of analysis that allows them to deal with more advances actuarial models.
