Insurance & International Markets
London, England | Spring Break
Explore the important role that the London market plays in the risk management and insurance industry. The world's oldest insurance marketplace, Lloyd's, was started in London over 300 years ago. Today, the London market continues to shape the world insurance market by providing coverage for hard-to-place risks in excess and surplus lines as well as reinsurance capacity to global markets. Study the nuances of the various insurance markets that call the city home and visit the London offices of various major companies that operate there. Travel to London over spring break as part of a spring semester course in Tallahassee.
