Career profile of a business mathematician (an actuary)
- Actuaries are academics and certified experts who use mathematical methods of probability theory, statistics and financial mathematics to analyse problems and develop solutions in the areas of insurance, capital investments and pensions.
- They are awarded the title of "Actuary" and "Member of the German Association of Actuaries" (Aktuar DAV) on passing special examinations, similar to those taken by accountants and tax advisers.
- The German Association of Actuaries (Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung - DAV) is the professional association of actuaries in Germany.
- Business mathematicians and, in particular actuaries, are employed in a wide range of fields: tariff ratings, pensions, controlling, finance, and many diverse IT projects, to name but a few.
- The admission requirements to continue to qualify as an actuary at the 'DAV' (German Association of Actuaries) are met with a degree in business mathematics from the Technical University of Rosenheim. Five of the six examinations from the undergraduate degree programme (basic knowledge) are fully recognized by the German Association of Actuaries.
