Careers
Graduates are usually employed as actuaries. They work for the insurance industry to calculate costs and determine the premiums. Actuaries also work for banks to develop derivative products, manage risk and forecast the future. Actuaries provide services for governments and oversee public companies to ensure compliance with regulatory laws.
In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to recognise actuarial skills that can be applied to a range of roles outside the traditional fields of insurance, such as agriculture and weather forecasting.
