Aktuarwesen für Westafrika in Benin

The master thesis concludes the scientific education of the master study programme in actuarial sciences. During a time span of about 13 weeks the students will work inde-pendently, but under scientific tutoring upon a subject that is based on bases and actual re-sults of their special field of work. In line with the main area of research of the teacher the thesis may for example cover one of the fol-lowing subjects: - Life insurance - Pensions insurance - Property/casualty insurance - Financial mathematics - Probability theory - Risk management - Reinsurance - Health insurance

Le stage est obligatoire pour la formation. La place de stage doit être suffisamment appropriée pour les tâches pratiques dans le contexte des études actuarielles. Mais le contenu détaillé dépend des conditions de la compagnie qui offre ces places de stages, par exemple le département dans lequel l’étudiant travaillera, les tâches et activités concrètes qu’il aura  à faire.

Well before the start of a semester the teacher will give a list of suitable subjects for the prosemi­nar.  The subjects may vary.  They are based on the knowledge the students have acquired in calculus, algebra, probability theory or possibly also basic actuarial knowledge.  The proseminar is aimed at giving a basic introduction to subjects of mathematics or actuarial sciences that are not covered by the basic and in-depth modules.
