Insurance and Social Security

The Department of Insurance and Social Security aims to educate well-equipped professionals who specialize in the fields of insurance and social security, in response to rapidly changing economic and social conditions. Insurance is a field that offers modern solutions for managing potential risks in areas such as economic, commercial, and professional activities, natural disasters, health issues, and income security. With its expanding and diversifying structure worldwide, insurance is closely related to disciplines such as economics, finance, law, and mathematics. Social security, on the other hand, directly concerns issues such as demographic changes, labor market transformations, combating poverty, and preventing social exclusion—making it an indispensable component of public policy.

Our curriculum covers both theoretical and practical aspects of subjects such as insurance operations and types, financial analysis, insurance accounting, risk management, social security law, individual pension systems, social security practices, and social security in the European Union. Supported by foundational courses in business, accounting, law, and information technologies, this interdisciplinary education enables students to become competent in both insurance and social security fields. They graduate as individuals capable of interpreting current developments, thinking analytically, and producing solutions.

Our graduates can find employment in public institutions—primarily the Social Security Institution (SGK)—as well as in private insurance companies, insurance brokerage firms, banks, individual pension companies, and in the human resources, accounting, and finance departments of various private sector organizations.
