Crossing the road, making a cup of tea, flying on holiday, starting a new business: nearly everything in life encompasses an element of risk. And to an actuary, risk is everything. It?s a (pretty lucrative!) career spent measuring, assessing, managing and mitigating risk ? and sometimes profiting from it, too. High prices are often at stake, but if you?ve got the head and stomach for it, it?s fascinating stuff. If you have a love of mathematics and business, but want to work with them in a more applied field, actuarial science is a great choice. As well as becoming a professional actuary, it opens up doors to broader fields including data science and risk management.
UEA?s multidisciplinary course brings together UEA?s Schools of Mathematics, Computing Sciences and Economics, along with the expertise of practising actuaries. You?ll develop core skills across mathematics, statistics and finance. Each year you?ll have the option to choose a traditional actuarial module or, if you?re thinking about specialising in data science, you can focus on developing additional computing skills. What?s more, our strong links with industry mean you will have unique opportunities to see theory put into practice: we even have expert guest lecturers from Aviva. |
