Undergraduate degrees
Actuarial science teaches you the art of turning risks into opportunities. It uses principles from mathematics, statistics and probability to evaluate risks in a broad range of areas such as insurance, finance, commerce and government.
What is an Actuary?
Actuaries provide assessments of financial security systems, with a focus on their complexity, their mathematics, and their mechanisms. If you're interested in using mathematical concepts in practical scenarios, such as determining insurance premiums, managing risks, or analysing financial data, actuarial science might be perfect for you.
What will you study?
You'll study a range of different topics such as:
- Mathematical finance
- Financial reporting
- Contingencies, risk management and survival analysis
- Mathematical, statistical and probabilistic techniques
- Programming and computation in languages such as Matlab and R
You’ll also have access to our dedicated computing facilities that provide real-world experience.
