Master’s Degree in Statistics and Methods for Economics and Finance

The Master's Degree in Statistics and Methods for Economics and Finance is offered by the Department of Economics and Finance of the University of Bari Aldo Moro. The programme develops skills in actuarial techniques, mathematical finance and quantitative methods applied to economics, insurance and finance, with courses combining statistics, probability, applied mathematics and economic disciplines. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

Teaching includes lectures, practical exercises and laboratories, supplemented by online modules. The course lasts two years and is taught in Bari, in person, full-time.

The aim is to train graduates able to work in insurance companies, financial firms, social security bodies and professional practices. The qualification also allows the independent practice of the actuarial profession and access to specialist master's programmes and doctorates. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
