Academic Requirements
- The MSc in Actuarial Science\xc2\xa0and Mathematical Finance builds on the UvA\'s Dutch Bachelor\'s in Actuarial Science (Actuari\xc3\xable Wetenschappen). Students holding this degree are automatically admitted to the MSc in Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance.
- Students holding a foreign academic degree should basically have the same knowledge to enter the MSc programme succesfully. Typically, a BSc in Mathematics or Physics gives the required level of calculus and linear algebra.\xc2\xa0
- Knowledge of the linear regression model is also required, e.g. through an econometrics course or included in the statistics course. As for economics, we assume knowledge of finance, for instance a course in Investment and Portfolio Theory.
