Key facts

The proactive leadership and administration of an insurance business in today’s dynamic environment requires a holistic understanding of the interdisciplinary relationships between key business units and the foresight to implement timely advancements.

The ability to be forward-thinking, apply emotional intelligence, and convey thought leadership will help insurance professionals distinguish themselves and their companies.

This programme provides students the opportunity to refine these skills, incubate new ideas, and expand their professional network while they receive instruction and mentorship from a team of respected industry professionals who are committed to sharing their knowledge and experience.

Careers and opportunities

The programme prepares graduates for leadership roles at insurance companies, brokerages, and agencies, or consulting and insurtech firms, as well as insurance procurement and risk mitigation roles as insureds in non-insurance entities.

Students are being recognized for making an impact at work with their newfound knowledge in real time.

More than half of alumni have earned promotions, pivoted to new career paths, advanced the breadth of their responsibilities, and contributed more value to their company, some within a few months of graduation.

Several created positions in new units and businesses emanating from their Applied Research projects and the connections made during the programme.

One very unique professional benefit from being part of the Insurance Management community is deep relationships that are built during and after the programme. Students, alumni, guest lecturers and faculty are business and professional resources for each other, which the programme strives to perpetuate.
