Statistics and Actuary in Insurance and HealthCare is a joint-degree programme between FEAA and IRIAF (Institut des Risques Industriels, Assurantiels et Financiers) of Niort, France, an institute developed at the University of Poitiers, in partnership with major insurance companies in France. SAIH graduates can obtain, under certain conditions, a double degree from the University of Iaşi and Poitiers. The Romanian and French students who wish to receive a double degree have to be enrolled at both universities. In both academic centres, teaching activities are held by Romanian and French teaching staff members and professionals.

Courses focus on the quantitative methods and software tools (SPSS, SAS) used in the operations conducted by insurance companies and health institutions; equally, large sections focus on IT (Databases, Visual Basic), project management and specialised organisations management etc. Romanian students can study in France from one semester to the entire study programme. The programme includes a one-semester internship in French insurance companies.

The internship in the fourth semester is completed with a report comprising the result of the practice and research activities conducted.
