The Master of Financial Insurance (M.F.I.) is a three session, full-time only professional degree that consists of a series of highly cross-disciplinary courses (4.5 FCE) focused on  real-world problems, drawing on insurance, finance, statistical and mathematical tools and methods and an internship (1.0 FCE).  “Finsurance” is a burgeoning field in which sophisticated finance-insurance hybrid products are being developed to meet the needs of an aging global population. In this program students acquire expertise in valuing, hedging, and managing the combined financial and insurance risks embedded in such complex products.  Potential applicants have a Bachelor’s degree in fields such as Statistics, Actuarial Science, Economics, Mathematics or any discipline where there is a significant quantitative component.  Students benefit from the participation of industry professionals who teach several courses, providing real-world insights and access to problems and participate in bi-weekly seminars providing insight into diverse problems faced by professionals. The summer internship in the final session is designed to give students real-world experience and prepare them for full-time employment.
