Insurance companies are traditionally marked by their social role
towards the individual, the community, families, the world of production, the state
and markets. Therefore, the insurance industry is committed to seizing multiple
development opportunities by leveraging innovation both by renewing its
strategy and its business and service models, as well as by investing in the acquisition
of new professional and technological skills. In this context, ANIA
and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore consider it a priority to train new
professional figures that combine technical skills and digital competencies, capable
of operating in international contexts and attentive to issues of sustainability
(business, social, technological, environmental, etc.).

Why choose us

"The context in which we are living and my personal work-life experiences allowed me to fully grasp the contents of the master's program, which I found, honestly, concrete, completely usable and quickly applicable to my work and professional context. In particular, the experience related to life insurance allowed me to learn in a complete and in-depth way about an interesting sector that I had never dealt with directly. It was a real opportunity to grow and increase my skills in insurance and risk management, aspects that I strongly believe should be enhanced in all sectors, in particular, in the agri-environmental one, in a risk management process that must necessarily involve all company figures for an integrated approach and that lays its foundations on technological innovation." - Eleonora Odorizzi, student of the 3rd Ed. of the Master's program
