Master in Statistical and Actuarial Sciences

The Study Course in Statistical and Actuarial Sciences has been established at the University of Benevento since 1991. It represents a unique educational offer in Campania and in southern Italy. Similar study paths are present only in the universities of Rome "La Sapienza" and Trieste.

The Master's Degree Course in Statistical and Actuarial Sciences aims to train highly qualified professionals in the field of actuarial sciences and applied quantitative methodologies in the category of insurance, social security, and financial issues.

The specific contents of the course concern insurance techniques, risk theory models for the assessment and control of solvency (in the insurance, financial, and pension sector), corporate finance, analysis of financial products and markets, models demographic for the analysis of survival, the deepening of statistical and probabilistic techniques, the logic of the economy of uncertainty, as well as the technological tools used in them. The training plan is aimed at providing theoretical frameworks, insights into operational practices in application contexts, legal culture, and relevant regulations for the analysis of the financial, insurance, and social security markets.

The master's student will acquire mastery and critical autonomy in a well-defined framework of skills, to be expressed in a sector vital for the modernization of the country and with strong and continuous requests for high professionalism.

The university campus of Benevento made up of the Departments of Law, Economics, Management, and Quantitative Methods, Engineering, Sciences and Technologies, born as a branch of the University of Salerno, acquired full administrative and didactic autonomy starting from 1 January 1998 (DM 29 / 12/1997) as the University of Sannio of Benevento.

Within the framework of national university training, the Samnite University is distinguished by a complex cultural project, characterized, on the one hand, by highly specialized training courses, such as to qualify it as a center of national importance for certain disciplinary fields; on the other hand, from the promotional role that the University proposes in the process of development of the economic and social system of Campania, and in particular of its internal areas.

The choice of a hypothesis for the establishment of university structures (Rectorate, Administrative Direction, Faculty Presidencies, Libraries, Teaching classrooms, Guest quarters, Canteen, Language Center, Computer laboratory) according to a logic of strong integration with the territory, therefore, becomes an indispensable step for the creation of that University - City system which summarizes the best Italian university tradition and which expresses, first of all, a specific cultural option with a high civil commitment, destined to enhance all the pre-existing potentialities in the area, urban planning, building and social.
