WHY STUDY ACTUARIAL SCIENCE AT ISEG?
Our professors are highly qualified
All of them master the subjects they teach and know both the theoretical background and the actual application of the subject! Besides, they are always there for help!
(Tip: You can make use of the specified office hours of each professor in case you needed
more clarification on any specific topic).
A prestigious world ranking in the field of Insurance, Risk & Actuarial Sciences called Eduniversal Best Masters Ranking ranked our program, in 2019, as the 13th best internationally! That’s just another proof of how this program is looked at on an international level!
The program is always up-to-date!
The courses are updated continuously to meet the new
theoretical and practical advancements in the field. Lately, a part about machine-learning
and a few other interesting topics were added.
Additionally, evaluations of most of the
courses are now split into two parts, a written exam and a computer-based exam which
basically ensures that you’ll master almost every topic in all its aspects! (Insight: know more about the evaluation system here)
Let's not forget about us: the Actuarial Science Club!
We got a great opportunity at ISEG to be able to form a club dedicated to our master! The club will ensure you are having a fruitful and joyful time!
It holds many events throughout the year (as you can check them on the homepage).
These events range from workshops to dinners to even organized games and trips!
Greatest tip:
Take advantage of these as much as possible, it is a great opportunity to expand your network,
find internships/jobs, and live great bonding experiences!
