Introduction
To help bridge the gap between school and university, you’ll attend small group tutorials in Stage 1, where you can practice the new mathematics you’ll be learning, ask questions, and work with other students to find solutions. You’ll study a mixture of pure and applied mathematics, statistics, and economics, providing you with a solid foundation for your later studies.
Throughout Stages 1 and 2, you attend the specialist program of workshops and events designed to ensure you have the best possible opportunity of securing a placement. Our in-house placement team will support you throughout the process. If you successfully secure a placement, you will spend a year working between Stages 2 and 3.
In Stages 2 and 3 you study modules that align with the professional exemptions from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), preparing you for your career as a qualified actuary.
During your studies, you will learn how to use PROPHET, an actuarial software widely used by the profession, along with other key computer software packages.
