Mathematics and Actuarial Science BSc

Actuarial science is the study of risk and uncertainty, usually of a financial and long-term nature. Professionals who work in this industry are called actuaries, and it’s a career that’s regularly voted as a top three choice in job rankings. The strong intellectual challenges combined with the expected financial rewards make this a highly sought-after profession. Our Mathematics and Actuarial Science degree introduces you to the world of an actuary, allowing you to build your technical mathematical skills, as well as developing your business understanding and helping you to become ready to join the world of industry. On this degree you will become comfortable with data and with its manipulation, studying core modules on data science and artificial intelligence. You will also develop great team working skills and persuasive communication techniques. Crucially, you’ll be in a position to know why you are in an organisation and what you can contribute.
