The Department of Risk Management and Actuarial Science is formerly known as the Teaching Research Section of Risk Management and Actuarial Science. In 1992, we established the Risk Management and Actuarial Science Program, which is one of the earliest actuarial education and research programs in China. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) has recognized our Actuarial Science program as a UCAP-AC program (Universities and Colleges with Actuarial Programs: Advanced Curriculum) since 2016. Our Actuarial Science Program won the 2018 CAS University Award.

At present, the Department consists of eight faculties, and offers Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. programs in Risk Management and Actuarial Science. The Department has obtained great achievements in actuarial theory researches and insurance applications. At the same time, the Department has trained many capable graduates who have become chief actuaries in several Chinese insurance companies.

The faculties consistently collaborate with insurance companies and actuarial institutions, such as PICC, Swiss Re, China Association of Actuaries, CAS, SOA, etc. We have the leading researches in life insurance, annuity, pension, agriculture insurance, general insurance, optimal reinsurance, financial risk, catastrophe risk, insurance solvency, actuarial data science, etc. In the future, our researches will continue to interact with statistical theories and data science technologies to address challenges in actuarial science faced by China and the world; our education will continue to train actuarial students with multiple skills.
