Over deze opleiding
In Actuarial Science, you will learn to make the complex considerations involved in risk management.
Should a smoker pay more for health insurance than a non-smoker? Actuaries assess risks, a task that requires meticulous consideration. The relationship between chance and financial risks is the main focus. Thousands of factors that influence our lives are formulated into a hazard model that emulates reality as closely as possible. These models are constantly updated to ensure they accurately reflect interest rates, inflation and other rising costs, as well as demographic, ethical, legal and fiscal developments. How likely is it that a factory will burn down? What would be the financial damage if that were to unexpectedly happen? What is the likelihood of you living to 110 so that your pension fund has to pay out for 45 years? You analyse the data, make all the calculations, and then you reach a decision or issue your recommendation. Actuarial Science is therefore an exact degree programme, providing you with a unique insight into society and people's lives.
