Is doing a graduate degree in risk management and insurance worth the money? Why?
@GARP_Risk @actuarynews
Depends!
#riskmanagement is a broad area which can offer various lucrative roles, especially in the financial sector.
They are a lot of risk management degrees available in the market.
Which one would you like to study?
And where it is being offered?
If the degree will focus more on Insurance Underwriting Management and related Risk Financing Courses, I won't advise you to do such a qualification.
The scope of such a degree won't go beyond Life and P&C Insurance Firms.
If the degree focuses more on Financial Risk Modelling, #ERM, #Cybersecurity, Information Security Risk Management, Lean Six Sigma and Quality Management, R and Python Coding, C language, SQL, NOSQL,VBA,MATLAB, EconoPhysics & #Econometrics, I would advise you to do such a degree.
But the questions remain =>
•How Quantitative/numerate the Degree is? A “GOOD DEGREE in Risk” should include => Inferential Statistics, Time Series, Applied Time Series, Regression Modelling and Diagnostics, Monte Carlo Simulation Methods, Experiment Design and RCTs,
