If you are excited about mathematics and are actually good at it in addition to being curious about financial matters, you should enjoy studying actuarial science. Actuarial science graduates learn how to analyse risk using mathematics and statistics. They also learn how to use their findings to solve management problems in insurance and other businesses. The two main applications of actuarial science are life insurance and pension plans. However, actuarial science is also applied in the study of financial organisations to analyse their liabilities and improve financial decision-making. Students undertake courses such as Multivariate Distributions, Life Contingencies, Differential Equations,Probability Distributions, Operations Research, Investment Fundamentals ,Discrete Mathematics, Financial Accounting, Business Finance amongst many others as part of the programme. Relevant career internship opportunities are also provided for all students during the course of their studies.
