3.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Actuarial Mathematics

This is a University of Liverpool programme aimed at those students who want to work in the world of insurance, financial or governmental services, where actuarial mathematics plays a key role. Actuarial mathematics prepares students to be professionals who use mathematical models to analyze and solve financial problems under uncertainty. Actuaries are experts in the design, financing and operation of insurance plans, annuities, and pension or other employee benefit plans.

In Year Three, students will cover some specialized work in advanced actuarial and financial mathematics. Subsequently, they start to study more advanced ideas in both life and non-life insurance mathematics as well as stochastic modelling, econometrics and finance. This programme is designed to prepare students for a career as an actuary, combining financial and actuarial mathematics with statistical techniques and business topics.

Liverpool has an excellent graduate employment record. About a third of graduates become business and finance professionals; but there is a whole host of other careers which graduates have found success in such as management training, information technology, further education or training (including teacher training), scientific research and development, and many more.
