Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Mathematical, Statistical and Actuarial Sciences and Diploma in Industrial Training

This degree offers the opportunity to gain exemptions from Core Principles subjects of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries Curriculum 2019 professional exams. Those who want to start their career with a year's work experience in hand, then they should consider this course. It combines the rigorous studies of the BSc (Hons) in Mathematical, Statistical and Actuarial Sciences with a year-long work placement in level 4. The work placement gives students the experience of working in an organisation in the financial sector. The Diploma in Industrial Training is gained through successful completion of this work placement. The work placement helps students to develop specific work-related skills, giving them the opportunity to apply and build upon the theory they learn in their studies. It allows students to take on real responsibilities, enhance their interpersonal skills through teamwork and communication and experience workplace culture.

The Diploma is available to all students, including those from overseas, as it does not require a work visa. If students are planning to come to the UK using a student visa they should check the Tier 4 Student Visa Policy Guidance to confirm they are permitted to undertake a work placement as part of their studies. It is students' responsibility to find a suitable work placement; acceptance onto the course does not guarantee them a placement. Those who are registered on the course and are unable to find a suitable work placement before the end of level 3 then they can transfer to the standard BSc (Hons) in Mathematical, Statistical and Actuarial Sciences degree.
