This programme combines material taught within the Mathematics and Actuarial Science programmes into a programme that includes specialist actuarial and statistical skills as well as a wide-ranging approach to other areas of advanced mathematics. Year one comprises core topics in algebra, calculus and statistics with an introduction to finance and economics. Year two builds upon and adds to this by introducing topics in actuarial science. The third and fourth years offer a range of options allowing students to choose the combination which best reflects their interests. Up to seven actuarial professional exemptions may be obtained by a good performance.

Mathematics graduates are in very high demand because of their ability to solve complex problems in a logical way. For many employers, these skills are at least as important as advanced technical skills in mathematics. However, this degree also covers subjects of specific interest to employers in finance and insurance.
