The Practical Actuarial Science course consists of lectures and case-studies. Attendance at all sessions is mandatory.

In addition, students are required to write (short) reports on announced topics from the lecture and the case studies.
Since students in the Finance program receive a grade, there will be an additional (short) oral exam for them on the presentation day.
