Program structure

The Master in Insurance & Risk Management offers both full-time and part-time options.
The learning is equal across the two formats, and you can choose your own pace to complete it.

• 12-months full-time intense and fast-paced. 8 months of on-campus or online attendance, followed by an internship or other elective activities, and the final thesis.
• 2-years part-time, timeline and course line-up are customized: you will get advice from the MIRM Program Manager on optimizing your Master's schedule.

Both the full-time and part-time options can be followed in the classroom or online. For those studying online, courses are synchronous (live) and run in parallel with the on-campus cohort.
However, there is the possibility of following up to 30% of the sessions on-demand (recorded).

The curriculum combines insurance-finance specialization with management expertise, accessible to graduates from diverse backgrounds.

The approach balances technical knowledge and management tools, without requiring prior specialized training.

In-person or Online?

Attending the Master in-person on campus is the most immersive and rich learning experience the School offers. Students can connect with their peers, professors and alumni, build meaningful relationships, make the most of professional networking opportunities, and reinforce their soft skills.

You will become part of a community of like-minded individuals who share your same passion and motivation. This choice also allows you to fully experience the Italian quality of life in Trieste, a wonderful and cosmopolitan city.

Alternatively, if, as a busy professional, taking time off work to attend in-person is impossible, our hybrid formula offers a flexible and convenient alternative.
You can attend your Master class online live, joining an immersive and interactive class. The online version of the program is conducted live and in real-time, concurrently with the in-person sessions.
Our hybrid option offers the same top-quality education as on campus program, and our hybrid theatres ensure a perfect interaction and a free-flowing conversation between people in the classroom and students online.

However, you can attend up to 30% of the sessions on-demand (recorded) at the time most convenient for you.
