Overview

Actuaries evaluate and manage financial risks, particularly in the financial services industry. Our specialist course is taught by professional actuaries and internationally renowned statisticians to make sure you're fully prepared for your career.

By choosing Actuarial Science BSc at Kent, you’ll develop key skills in maths, business economics, probability, statistics and calculus, all of which are highly sought-after by employers.

Our foundation year course provides an opportunity for you to develop your mathematics skills and start learning some university-level material, fully preparing you for university study before you progress onto the Actuarial Science degree.

Accreditation

We're fully accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, which means that you can achieve up to six exemptions from the 13 professional examinations required to become a qualified actuary.

Programme Structure

Over three years, you develop the skills in mathematics, statistics, finance and economics that you need to qualify as an actuary.

Foundation year: If your qualifications are not sufficient, for whatever reason, for direct entry onto a degree course, you can apply for this course with a foundation year. If your first language is not English, the Foundation Year offers additional classes taught by staff who are specialists in teaching English as a foreign language.
