News from the study program
Lego in insurance studies
Insurance supervision, equity requirements – that sounds like pretty dry material and exhausting lectures. But there is another way. In the third semester of the Bachelor's Insurance course, students used Lego to build their own personal experiences with insurance. They very quickly built claims – such as a motorcycle accident or a house in a flood.
But it's not just specific situations that can be brought to the point with Lego. What is the aim of Solvency II, a major topic in insurance supervision? What are the 3 pillars of Solvency II supposed to achieve? The Lego artworks impressively illustrate aspects such as transparency, communication, sufficient capital, control and sustainability.
Prof. Dr. Jutta Michel is pleased that the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has enough Lego bricks so that larger groups can also deal creatively with the abstract topics of the course.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Coburg University Association for its generous support!
