BSc (Hons) Actuarial Science with a foundation year

... United Kingdom
... The College, Swansea University ( Navitas )

Course Overview

Suppose you enjoy mathematics and want to apply your knowledge to solve real-world business problems. In that case, the Swansea University actuarial science programme is an excellent way to meet your goals.

An actuary is a highly trained and influential business professional who uses advanced mathematical modelling and business understanding to analyse future risks.

Students who pursue this course will gain a solid foundation in the first year in mathematics, business, and study skills. They will be prepared for tremendous success in the following mathematics and management modules. The programme is accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), so programme modules in mathematics, accounting, finance and economics are aligned with the IFoA professional examinations. Graduates can obtain up to six exemptions from IFoA professional examinations, which is a huge head start toward getting actuarial employment and succeeding as an actuary.

Your learning will be shaped by inspirational and internationally-renowned business professionals with many years of industry experience, including Dr Jafar Ojra, Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Chartered Global Management Accountant.
