MSc, PGDip Actuarial Science with Data Analytics

... United Kingdom
... University of Leicester

Course Overview

Whether you have yet to start the actuarial professional exams or have already passed some of the Core Principles subjects, you can choose a route that maximizes your potential exemptions from the IFoA exams. In some cases, you will be able to finish all the exams needed to become a fully-qualified actuary as an Associate member of the IFoA (Qualification as an Associate requires two years' work experience qualifying for PPD, completing the online Professional Skills Course, and completing the online CB3 course and assessment.)

Data skills are vital for all professionals, and Data Analytics is at the heart of this course which has been designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you potentially to gain exemptions from all the examined Core Principles subjects (CS 1&2, CM 1&2, CB 1&2) or, if you already have some passes under your belt, to add the Core Practices subjects (CP 1, 2 & 3). After the compulsory Data Science module, you are free to select modules that align with your personal goals – whether to gain as many exemptions as possible or to explore more advanced data analytics topics like Data Mining and Neural Networks. All our actuarial modules are taught with an emphasis on the ability to manipulate and analyze actual data sets using industry-standard software so you can be sure you are developing skills highly sought after by the industry.

But actuarial science is not just about quantitive data and mathematical techniques. In every module, you will be supported to develop essential business skills – problem-solving, communication, and teamwork – and grow your understanding of the business and economic environment where actuaries operate. This unique combination of technical expertise and transferable business skills means you will be well-placed to work in the insurance, pensions, healthcare, banking, business management, and risk assessment worlds. In addition, you will be equipped with mathematical and statistical knowledge and problem-solving skills to help businesses and institutions evaluate the long-term financial implications of their decisions while continuing your actuarial professional qualification.

General Eligibility

At least a 2:1 in a relevant subject (Mathematics, Statistics, Science, Economics). We will consider graduates from other issues individually - students will need to demonstrate that their ability in mathematics is appropriate if they do not have a B at the A level.

Part Time Work Details

20 hours of work permit weekly for international students.

Language Requirement

  • IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you may need to prove your English ability. If you do not yet meet our requirements, our English Language Teaching Unit (ELTU) offers a range of courses to help you to improve your English to the necessary standard.
