Since 2003 the Dept. of Statistics and Actuarial Science has offered a postgraduate higher diploma in Actuarial Science (H.Dip.Act.Sc). This course, the first of its kind in Ireland, will enable graduates from quantitative disciplines (other than Actuarial Science) to study for and obtain exemptions from many of the Core Technical professional exams of the Institute/Faculty of Actuaries.
This Higher Diploma will appeal to those with a solid quantitative background who now have the intention of entering the actuarial profession, and who wish to expedite the qualification time necessary to become an Actuary. Students will select, subject to previous study and approval of the programme director, various subject in Actuarial Statistics, Mathematics, Finance and Economics. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Academic applicants will normally be expected to have a very good foundation in mathematics and/or statistics, and at least a 2.2 honours degree in a quantitative subject such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, or economics and/or finance. |
