This is for you if… you want to get an in-depth knowledge of the use of mathematical methods and skills in actuarial science.
Course Overview
Our aim is to produce graduates who are capable of working primarily as financial mathematicians and actuaries, though they will develop an awareness of the broader financial sector. No matter what position you ultimately hold in the financial world, certain key mathematical skills are essential. It is these core skills that the Actuarial Science programme will provide.
Students who are sufficiently successful in the relevant modules are expected to be award exemptions from the Actuarial Profession’s exams CT1 to CT8.
