Programme structure

Students must follow a programme of 120 credits comprising compulsory core subjects (75 credits), a specialized focus (30 credits)  and elective courses  (15 credits). The core subjects (75 credits) includes compulsory subjects (45 credits), additional subjects (10 credits) determined by the Jury according to the degree held by the applicant, a work placement in a
company (5 credits) and a master thesis (15 credits). The specialized focus consists in advanced courses of actuarial science and related disciplines.

Thanks to an active collaboration between KULeuven and UCL actuarial master programmes, UCL students attend advanced classes in KULeuven, and vice-versa. The courses shared by the two universities are taught in English, the rest of the UCL programme being taught in French.

A maximum of 50 credits may be accredited to students who already have a second cycle degree or who are working professionally and who have a good foundation and/or professional experience in actuarial science
