Your studies and the labour market 就业市场

Actuarial Science 本科学完以后，还不是精算师， 还需要学习硕士专业：精算学和数学金融专业。如果想注册精算相关组织，还需要继续完成下一阶段（博士）的学习。

Upon completion of the Bachelor's programme, you are not yet an actuary. You must first complete the Master's programme in Actuarial Science & Mathematical Finance. In order to register with the Actuarial Association, you must then complete one more professional post-'doctoraal' programme. One you've completed this, the world is your oyster!

Actuarial careers

Actuaries have excellent prospects on the labour market. Actuaries are essential for conducting risk management at financial institutions, and the Actuarial Science programme constantly anticipates future developments and societal needs. For example, at the moment, there is a great deal of demand for financially and economically trained actuaries.

Actuaries can work for:

·       insurance companies

·       pension funds

·       banks

·       consultancies

·       the Dutch Central Bank (the regulatory authority),

·       other financial institutions and organisations

·       government bodies

 

专业名称2：Business Administration 商务管理

课程设置：

Your study programme

Your first year 第一年学习基本的商务知识。主要分成四个领域：组织，人，经济和方法。

You’ll spend your first year mastering the basics of business. Business administration is a multidisciplinary science that draws on different disciplines for solving business problems. We’ve divided the various disciplines into four pillars: Organisation, People, Economics and Methods.

·       Organisation has to do with the main goals and design of a company. This covers strategic questions like who are your customers, how to outperform the competition and how to structure an organisation.

·       People has everything to do with the psychology of the workplace: motivating and leading people or organising team work efficiently.

·       Economics goes into the broader scope of international and national economies and the place business has in them.

·       Methods, finally, teaches you the skills a business researcher needs. Reading and understanding scientific articles and using statistics correctly, for example, is a skill. So is business research methodology. Besides those, you’ll also be trained in interviewing, academic writing and presentational skills.

Your second year 第二年：深入学习商务功能。课程涵盖：管理会计，营销，创新管理等等。

Here, we’ll delve deeper into the business functions. Courses range from Management Accounting to Marketing to Innovation Management. The course International Management for example, deals with doing business and working across cultural boundaries – a most fascinating endeavour. We’ll also teach you Information and Data Management, because the digital revolution has had a huge impact on how businesses operate today. Finally, the course Business Ethics discusses the potential dark sides of business: exploitation, environmental waste, cutthroat competition, fraud, and so forth. You end the second year by doing a consultancy project in your first real company assignment.

Your third year第三年：可以有很多选择：实习，海外交换，选择选修课等等。还需要选择一个商务领域来学习，如会计，管理，金融，企业家和电子商务等。最后要写论文。

Your third year is largely in your own hands. You can choose between an internship, visiting a university abroad, broadening your scope by taking a minor at another faculty, or obtaining practical business skills in our business lab courses. You will also need to choose a business field to specialise in, like Accounting or Management.

·       Internship: working within a company to test your acquired skills and knowledge in the field.

·       Exchange abroad: studying a semester at another university abroad will give a life-changing experience.

·       Minor: a kind of mini-study programme. A minor will give you the opportunity to broaden your academic scope. It covers a variety of topics ranging from philosophy or law to Chinese culture and language.

·       Business lab course:

In the second semester you’ll further zoom in on the aspect of business administration you find most fascinating: Accountancy, Finance, Management or Entrepreneurship & Digital Business. You prepare yourself for the Master’s programme of your choice, and give your bachelor a clear profile. You will spend the whole second semester on your chosen field of specialisation.

Finally, you will write your thesis in your field of specialisation. You’ll receive excellent guidance from seasoned researchers and follow a structured path towards completing your studies.
