Courses in Insurance

The Insurance sector protects people and businesses from risk and plays an essential role in the economy, in pensions and in savings management. Master's programmes in Insurance train professionals able to assess risks, design products, handle claims and advise clients, in a market that is evolving with digitalisation, new emerging risks and demands for greater transparency.

The programmes include principles of insurance, life and non-life insurance, actuarial techniques, claims management, underwriting, risk management, reinsurance, insurance distribution and bancassurance, supplementary pensions, insurance law, regulation and Solvency II, insurtech and insurance marketing. Lessons combine theory, practical cases and testimonials from managers of insurance companies and intermediaries.

A master's in Insurance lets you develop skills in risk analysis, pricing, claims assessment, client advice, understanding regulatory requirements and using data and algorithms to improve processes and products. You learn to balance client needs, technical sustainability and compliance with rules.

Career opportunities include underwriter, actuary, claims adjuster, risk manager, insurance consultant, broker, sales manager of an insurance company, insurance product manager, compliance officer, analyst and insurtech specialist. Opportunities exist in insurance and reinsurance companies, brokers, agencies, banks, consulting firms and companies that directly manage their own risks. For some intermediation activities, registration in registers and passing specific exams is required.

Population ageing, the growth of climate and cyber risks and the role of supplementary pensions are widening opportunities for those with specialised insurance skills.

Many programmes offer internships at insurance companies and brokers, useful for entering the sector and getting to know its different roles.
