Study Details: MSc 3 years full-time
Actuaries evaluate and manage financial risk. You'll be able to make financial sense of the future by applying advanced mathematical and statistical techniques to solve complex financial problems. This sets you up for success in a range of industries.
Qualifying as an actuary is a passport to a wide variety of careers in insurance companies, investments, pensions, health care and banking – not just in the UK, but throughout the world.
Industrial placements may be undertaken in the UK or overseas. The University does not guarantee every student will find a placement. Those who do not secure a placement will be transferred to the MSc programme without a placement.
