Our MSc in Actuarial Science gives you a firm grounding in the fundamentals of actuarial science in insurance, finance and investment, and business analytics methods. You will have the equivalent of a UK upper second-class degree in a highly quantitative programme, so you will be ready to study in detail the mathematical and statistical techniques for measuring the probability and risk of future events and their financial impact on a business and/or their clients.

This pathway is for you if you like to think about innovative tools – there is a rising need for these people in actuarial practice, and demand is far higher than supply. Our dedicated MSc in Actuarial Science with Business Analytics, established in 2020, aims to fill this gap.
