About

Our IFoA-accredited degree combines mathematical expertise, real-world applications and up to six professional exam exemptions.

Overview

Actuaries help organisations understand and manage financial risk, using mathematics, statistics and data analysis to solve complex real-world challenges. At Kent, you'll be taught by professional actuaries and internationally renowned statisticians, combining academic excellence with industry expertise.

You'll develop sought-after skills in mathematics, statistics, economics and finance while gaining practical experience with industry-standard software, including R, Python and PROPHET. Our course is fully accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA), allowing you to gain up to six exemptions from the professional examinations required to qualify as an actuary. You can also continue your studies on our MSc Applied Actuarial Science to gain further exemptions and accelerate your route to professional qualification.
