Program Objectives
The new Actuarial Science and Statistics track results from the merger of the former Actuarial Science and Statistics majors into a single program. This structure provides a solid and coherent education in applied mathematics, while allowing students to gradually specialize in actuarial science, data science, or mathematical engineering in statistics and finance through a selection of tailored electives.
Built on a foundation of required courses in probability and statistics, some of which are shared with the Advanced Mathematics major, the program also offers a wide range of electives to prepare students for their intended specialization in the Master 2 program. The major offers specialized courses in statistics (Monte Carlo methods, nonparametric statistics, research thesis), as well as advanced courses in insurance mathematics (life and non-life actuarial science, credibility, risk theory) and financial mathematics (portfolio management), with numerous practical applications that are regularly updated to reflect scientific advancements.
Most lectures are taught in English. An "English Track" allows students who wish to do so to also take tutorials in English.
Training objectives :
- To encourage exploration of related fields such as actuarial science, finance, and data science ;
- Acquire a solid foundation in applied mathematics: probability and statistics, optimization, and numerical analysis. Engage with open-ended and current issues in applied mathematics ;
- Develop skills in advanced statistical methods, risk modeling, data analysis, and mathematical finance;
When you enroll in a Master's program, you also join Université PSL. Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world (THE and QS), PSL offers excellent graduate programs at the Master's and PhD level, which benefit from the scientific capabilities of its member institutions. The degree is prepared at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and awarded by Université PSL.

The challenges of the ecological and social transition in the Master's degree programs
Several courses and tools are offered to students in the Master’s program, regardless of their specialization
- “Ecological Transition and Social Responsibility” Certificate
- “Dauphine Durable” SPOC A common base of knowledge in the areas of ethics, social responsibility and sustainable development. It tackles the basics of CSR: control, human resources, finance, marketing, strategy, climate issues and the environmental transition.
- “Managing SDGs” SPOC A unique learning experience in which students from multiple countries work together on real-life case studies.
- Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development At PSL, Dauphine is a founding member of Université Virtuelle Environnement et Développement durable (Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development), which allows it to provide its students with a set of resources and MOOCs.
