About Actuarial Mathematics, BSc (Hons) - at Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Leeds

Actuaries are strategic thinkers who use their mathematical skills to analyse the financial consequences of risk. By applying mathematical, statistical, financial and economic theory to real business problems, they measure probability and calculate the financial impact of undesirable events.

The next generation of actuaries are in demand across both the private and public sectors. In addition to the traditional insurance and pensions industry, actuarial roles are now found in other areas where uncertainty needs to be closely managed - such as banking, investment management, consultancy, manufacturing and transport. The career options available across these sectors are both varied and financially rewarding.

Studying Actuarial Mathematics at Leeds will enable you to develop a range of core mathematical and actuarial science skills. You'll enhance your analytical and problem-solving abilities and learn advanced skills in statistical analysis, numerical techniques and computer applications.
