The Faculty aspires to produce graduates with a broad and comprehensive understanding of Statistics and Insurance Science and their interactions while still being able to offer services to a broad spectrum of employers. The nominal duration of the studies is four academic years. Each academic year comprises a Winter and a Spring Semester, i.e. a total of eight semesters. Each semester includes a number of mandatory and optional courses. Each course comprises lecturing, practical (laboratory) work and exercises (where applicable).
Currently, approximately 70 courses are offered, among which 19 are compulsory (COMP) and the rest are elective (EL). For the completion of the studies, a successful examination is required in 5 courses per semester, i.e. 40 courses in total. In particular, it is required: (i) Successful examination in all courses of the category COMP (19 courses), (ii) Successful examination in 21 courses of the EL category, at least 4 of which must belong to category A (Probability and Statistics) and at least 4 to category B (Actuarial, Insurance Science and Demography). The above applies to students who have been admitted to the department during the academic year 2017-18.
More details as well as special conditions that apply to students who have been admitted before the academic year 2017-18 can be found in the departmental Syllabus.
