Insurance Courses – A Sound Understanding of Various Risks Faced by Modern Financial Firms

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- Business students looking for a route into the challenging environment of finance and commerce will be considerably interested at a broad range of BSc insurance courses at business schools across the country. A Level students are considerably green in business terms but insurance courses provide undergraduates with a sound understanding of the various risks faced by modern financial and commercial firms.

Arguably the best city in the world to study business is London, with its close links to the City of London and its financial and business epicentre. Certainly graduates of an insurance degree of this nature are in pole position to be employed as underwriters, analysts, insurance and risk advisors and managers for some of the biggest global conglomerates.

Insurance courses (http://www.cass.city.ac.uk/masters/courses/mscirm/index.html) introduce undergraduates to financial markets, developing their ability to relate the study of accounting, economics and quantitative methods to these industries. As the course progresses scholars will have the opportunity to build up their theoretical knowledge and ability to use advanced statistical tools to interpret and use financial data.

Living and studying at a London business school can be a significant financial burden, however there are ways and means around enrolling in insurance courses. A limited number of scholarships are available to undergraduate students of various business institutions, largely awarded on the basis of academic merit.

London business schools (http://www.cass.city.ac.uk)  require relatively high standards in terms of A Level grades for enrolment. Students wishing to enrol in insurance courses will need to have a distinct flair for mathematics and numbers in order to take on board the in-depth theoretical study that ensues combined with a practical approach to business and commercial finance.
