| Course Objectives | Life insurance is a contract between the policyholder and the insurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the "benefits") upon the death of the insured person. Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness may also trigger payment. In return, the policyholder agrees to pay a stipulated amount (the "premium") at regular intervals or in lump sums. The aim of the Insurance and Actuarial Mathematics course is to provide grounding in the mathematical techniques which are of particular relevance to actuarial work in life insurance. |
