The insurance industry (Master in Insurance & Risk Management graduates’ main outlet) continues to grow. Insurance company profits have increased across all European markets; in 2006, average growth was at 3% (Source ANIA).

All of the major companies in the industry are adding to their employee base and are looking for qualified candidates. 

Only two months from graduation of the last edition of Master in Insurance & Risk Management  (February, 2006), 100% of our graduates had found a professional position which met their expectations.

In spite of this impressive record, Career Services manages to fill only 60% of the demand from various companies hoping to fill positions with our graduates. With this in mind, it is clear that admission to the MIRM programme is a positive career strategy for all participants!

The Master in Insurance & Risk Management career path develops through class experience, the company internship and consulting with Career Services, which operates as an intermediary between candidates and companies, creating professional opportunities for participants and helping companies find the perfect candidate for their needs.

"MIRM was an experience that changed my life. The Master was absolutely fundamental for my career, without it I would not be where I am today."
