As the needs of the actuarial profession and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries evolve, the skill set of actuaries is used in wider applications in both traditional and non-traditional fields, and the intake of overseas members increases, this programme is designed to reflect these challenges and ensure that it is fit for purpose for actuaries in an ever-changing global business environment. It is very flexibly designed offering you several study options to choose from.

On this postgraduate course, you will study statistics, probability, stochastic processes, survival models, economics, finance and investment, insurance, pensions, financial modelling and contracts valuation, with computer-based applications. This broad and varied syllabus is equivalent to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ Core Mathematics, Core Statistics and Core Business professional examinations (Subjects CM1, CM2, CS1, CS2, CB1, CB2), and enables you to gain exemptions from them. In addition, you will have the opportunity to study modelling practice, by applying actuarial techniques to solve real-world problems, and communication with non-actuaries on topics related to actuarial practice, that will enable you to gain exemptions from Subjects CP2 and CP3*. Finally, you will be offered a collection of Business Analytics modules to select from as electives.
