Bachelor in Insurance Practice (General)

The programme runs over three years in a blended format, alternating between theory and practice modules. In the first year students cover the nature of insurance (theory and practice), professional business communication, teamwork and collaboration, and an introduction to compliance and advice. The second year builds on regulatory knowledge with compliance and advice practice, technical numeric communication, and customer service. The final year concentrates on personal general insurance theory and practice, preparing learners for underwriting and claims work.

This course is aimed at applicants who already hold a relevant qualification or have work experience in insurance, finance or business and wish to deepen their understanding of general insurance.
