Mathematics Programs
Actuarial Science (Professional Track)
The Actuarial Science program at the Mathematics and Computer Science Department offers a dual-degree training (Bachelor's and Master's) in collaboration with the Euro Institute of Actuarial Science (EURIA) at the University of Western Brittany (France) and the Institute of Actuaries of Côte d'Ivoire (IACI). The program prepares students for actuarial roles, including:
- Analysis, management, and financial quantification of risks in both insurance and finance.
- Application of mathematics and statistics to finance, insurance, and risk management.
Additional Details:
The actuary is a specialist in risk forecasting and management within insurance companies. They conduct studies to mathematically model these risks, including the development and pricing of insurance contracts, financial product evaluation, investment choices, and financial risk management. Actuaries must also be well-versed in legal, accounting, fiscal, and commercial aspects. The Actuarial Science-Bachelor's in Financial Mathematics allows for further studies in banking, insurance, finance, and econometrics.
Admission Requirements:
L1: Entry through competitive exam for holders of a scientific baccalaureate (C, D, E) or equivalent diploma.
L2: Entry through competitive exam for students who have completed L1 in Mathematics or those in their first year of a mathematics-oriented preparatory class.
L3: Entry through competitive exam for students who have completed L2 in Mathematics or those in their second year of a mathematics-oriented preparatory class.
Skills:
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to:
- Analyze, model, and manage insurance and financial risks, considering the operational, accounting, and regulatory environment.
- Implement risk valuation or management procedures and oversee their application within a company, anticipate projects arising from current societal challenges (longevity, dependency), and implement risk control procedures, portfolio management, etc.
Master in Data Sciences (Professional Track)
