The MARA programme offers an ideal platform to build your expertise at the heart of a dynamic, globally connected economy.

Designed for students with strong analytical and numerical abilities and a passion for insurance, finance, and risk management, MARA integrates actuarial science, risk management, and climate and sustainability studies into a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary curriculum. You will gain the skills and insights needed to navigate an increasingly complex and evolving global landscape, empowering you to manage risks, address emerging challenges, and drive meaningful impact across industries.

Measuring and managing climate risks is becoming increasingly vital for institutions across the financial system, particularly in the insurance sector. However, there remains a significant shortage of professionals with both actuarial and risk analytics expertise, coupled with a deep understanding of climate-related risks.

The MARA programme is designed to address this critical talent gap. By equipping students with a rare and highly sought-after combination of skills, MARA prepares graduates to meet the rising demand for talent across Southeast Asia and beyond. This distinctive interdisciplinary approach empowers students to lead in risk-related industries and contribute meaningfully as the global economy transitions towards a greener, more sustainable future.
