Program Overview

Data Science (machine learning) uses computer algorithms to build models of the future. Our MSc in Actuarial Management with Data Science will enable you to develop the skills to build and apply such models in an actuarial context.

In addition, the degree is fully accredited with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries in the UK for actuarial subjects: CP1, CP2, CP3, SP2, SP4, SP5, SP6 and SP9. Studying subject SP9 leads to the internationally recognised Certified Enterprise Risk Actuary (CERA) qualification.

These subjects cover a variety of areas including life insurance, risk management, investment, derivatives, pensions, communication and modelling. Combining your choice of these with your development in machine learning skills will prepare you well for the modern world. You choose the combination that works for you.

Completing this degree gets you close to qualification as an actuary, with only one or two exams left to complete after leaving university. It typically speeds up your qualification by one or two years.
