Actuarial Science brings together mathematical, statistical and financial techniques to minimise financial risk in areas such as commerce, insurance, finance and government, and this new degree could lead to highly rewarding careers in fields such as insurance, annuities, and pensions. A newly-qualified actuary can earn over £50,000 (Institute and Faculty of Actuaries guide to salaries). As a student on our three-year BSc Actuarial Science, you will be taught in our new £31m Computational Foundry, a world class centre with state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, as well as networking and meeting spaces, to help prepare you for a successful and rewarding career.The programme will be delivered by the Department of Mathematics in conjunction with the School of Management, both located on the Bay Campus.The Department is rated 5th in the UK for graduate prospects [Times & Sunday Times University Guide and Complete University Guide 2018] with 89.2% of our graduates in graduate employment or further study six months after leaving University [DHLE Survey 2016].This course will give you a solid training highly aligned with that required for entrance to the actuarial profession – a career which is financially rewarding, highly sought after and a ‘passport’ to working in the global environment.It will cover topics such as: calculus, analysis, algebra, applied statistics, accounting for business, economics for accounting and finance, real analysis and metric spaces, vector calculus and measure theory, groups and rings, probability, financial accounting, investments, assets, equities and bonds, complex variables, stochastic processes, financial mathematics, stochastic processes and survival models, and actuarial models and interest rates. We are seeking accreditation from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), and we expect that graduates with good degrees will gain exemptions from a fair portion of the IFoA professional examinations, most likely across CS1&2, CM1&2.We are rated as one of the Top 25 Mathematics departments in the UK and are within the top third in the world [QS World University Rankings 2015]. Student satisfaction is consistently high, and we recorded a score of 91% in the 2017 National Student Survey.Furthermore, this new Honours programme compliments our successful programmes in the area of Financial Mathematics: B.Sc. Mathematics for Finance, and M.Sc. Mathematics & Computing for Finance.
