It is particularly important for us to find out how others judge the education at the University of Ulm. This is also because it is a special indicator of the quality of our work. For this reason, we have collected here the opinions of graduates and companies, as well as of colleagues on the main focus of actuarial sciences and the course of study in business mathematics.

"In Ulm there is a remarkable symbiosis of parts of the University Faculty of Mathematics and Economics on the one hand and the Institute for Finance and Actuarial Science on the other. Hence, Ulm is an ideal place for research in insurance and finance which simultaneously focusses on scientific and on business aspects. This is perfectly reflected by the "dual character" of the prize-winning paper."
