Masterclass Actuarial Science
This Master Class is meant for students who want to know more about a very interesting and dynamic discipline: actuarial sciences. Actuaries are experts in analysing the past, modelling the future, assessing the risk involved by using mathematical and statistical models and communicating what the results mean in financial terms. In the Master Class the most important aspects of the actuarial profession will be presented by bringing together theory and practice.
Study associations
Among the character traits that define Rotterdam students are their high level of activity and their hardworking mentality. They are actively involved in all sorts of consulting associations and often have side jobs as student assistants to professors or in the administrative departments of the School. Their contribution keeps the faculty on their toes and allows them to incorporate the students’ opinions. The character of the students is also demonstrated by the active faculty and study associations.
