About the course

The MSc Actuarial Science is a full-time postgraduate programme aimed primarily at students with undergraduate degrees from quantitative disciplines such as maths, statistics, finance or any other programme with a high degree of mathematical content.

The programme encompasses modules across the areas of actuarial mathematics, statistics, economics and finance, to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills to pursue a career as an actuary. This programme provides students who have not undertaken an undergraduate Actuarial Science degree with the opportunity to accrue exemptions from six of the earlier Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ IFoA professional exams (CM1-2, CB1-2 and CS1-2) in addition to undertaking postgraduate study.
