Actuarial Science University of Amsterdam

Overview

Actuaries are able to predict the future. Not really, of course. But you do use mathematics, statistics and data science to determine the likelihood of undesirable events occurring in the future. An economic crisis, for example, or a fire, or a bankruptcy. During the Bachelor’s programme in Actuarial Science of the University of Amsterdam  you learn how to estimate risks, calculate their financial impact, and mitigate them properly. UvA is the only Dutch university offering both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s programme in Actuarial Science.

Specialise with a Master's degree

With your Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science, you are guaranteed admission to the Master's programme in Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance at the UvA. This follow-on Master’s programme aligns seamlessly with your Bachelor’s programme in Actuarial Science. 

The specialised knowledge and experience gained in your Master’s are assets in the job market that help you climb the career ladder. If you want to become a fully qualified recognised actuary, you can also follow the advanced post-Master’s programme at the UvA which leads to professional accreditation by the Royal Dutch Actuarial Association.
