About this course

Discover the Queen Mary’s accredited Actuarial Science degree, blending mathematics, probability and financial modelling. Gain exemptions and start your path to becoming an actuary. The future is uncertain, but statistics can reveal ways to measure risk.

Study this accredited course to learn how. Imagine being able to predict the future. Not by using a crystal ball, but with numbers.

To become an actuary, you’ll need a combination of mathematical expertise, specialist knowledge and drive to make a difference.

As well as mathematics, you’ll unravel areas like probability, actuarial and financial mathematics, and business economics. All of this will mean you’ll be exempt from up to six of the seven Core Principles exams, so you’ll be on your way to becoming a qualified actuary with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.
