Non-life Insurance
Objectives
The main goal of this course is to provide knowledge about Non-life Insurance, mainly the student will be able to mathematical model the risk, in such way that it is possible to obtain the aggregate claim distribution, premiums, upper bounds for the ruin probability and to analyse the effects of reinsurance. The objectives of this course are based in the “Core Syllabus for Actuarial Training in Europe” proposed by the “Groupe Consultatif des Associations D’Actuaires des Pays des Communautes Europeennes”.

Teaching method
The subjects to study are exposed in an oral way, motivating the students to research the subject. Students are asked to work out the proposed exercises and all the doubts concerning these exercises are then discussed. The lectures are in a computer laboratory and the exercises are worked out using computational tools.
Evaluation method
Frequency acquisition
The frequency is obtained for regular students by attending the TP classes. It is only possible to have 4 unjustified absences. Students with special status, that don´t obtain frequency by attending classes, will have to obtain T1> = 7.5.
Approval in the regular season
The evaluation in normal season consists of: 2 tests and 1 practical work to be done during the class period. Let T1 , T2 and TP be the scores obtained, respectively, in both tests and in the practical work. Let AC=0.3*T1+0.5*T2+0.2*TP be the classifications obtained at the regular season. The student is approved in the regular season if AC>=9.5
