Tuition fees are 9,370 USD per year.

Actuarial Sciences, Risk and Data Analysis is a two-year master's degree program delivered in English at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, in Milan, Italy. The program trains students in the mathematical and statistical methods used to measure and manage financial risk, with coursework typically covering probability theory, statistics, insurance and pension mathematics, financial risk modeling, and data analysis techniques applied to insurance, banking, and financial services. Students learn to build and interpret quantitative models used to price insurance products, assess long-term financial risk, and support regulatory and business decision-making. Actuarial science is a specialized quantitative discipline, and graduates typically pursue careers as actuaries, risk analysts, data analysts, or quantitative consultants within insurance companies, pension funds, banks, and consulting firms. The growing use of data analysis across the financial and insurance sectors has broadened the range of roles available to graduates with combined training in actuarial methods and data science techniques, extending beyond traditional actuarial positions into wider risk and analytics functions. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, one of Italy's largest private universities, offers this program in Milan, a city that functions as Italy's main financial and insurance center. Delivering the program in English gives international students access to actuarial training within this financial hub without requiring prior Italian-language study, while preparing graduates for a profession that operates largely in English internationally. Admission to the two-year master's program is by entrance examination and requires applicants to hold a bachelor's degree or an equivalent qualification, with coursework building on a foundation in mathematics, statistics, economics, or a related quantitative field.
