The DCU BSc in Actuarial Mathematics prepares students to pursue a career as an actuary or, more generally, for a career in finance. Actuaries are involved in quantifying and managing risk and work in areas as diverse as banking, insurance and healthcare. As financial markets become increasingly complex there is a growing need for professionals who combine both mathematical and financial expertise. Graduates of the DCU BSc in Actuarial Mathematics are in high demand by both the actuarial and financial industry in Ireland and internationally.
The BSc in Actuarial Mathematics provides an excellent start to a career as an actuary or in finance. Students who perform sufficiently well on the degree may be exempt from some or all of the Core Principles examinations (CS1, CS2, CM1, CM2, CB1, CB2) of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries UK and can therefore, significantly reduce the time taken to qualify as an actuary. The Actuarial Profession is a global profession with opportunities internationally in America, Asia, India, Africa and Australia. Graduates are also well placed to undertake further studies and research in actuarial science, mathematics, financial mathematics, economics and finance.
