Duration (years)

Study the art of risk: measuring it, assessing it, managing it, mitigating it – and sometimes profiting from it. 

Crossing the road, making a cup of tea, flying on holiday, starting a new business: nearly everything in life encompasses an element of risk. And to an Actuary, risk is everything. If you’re strong on mathematics and have an interest in business and economics, are fascinated by world events and not afraid to take an educated gamble, a career in this small but growing (and pretty lucrative) profession could be ideal. 

Our Actuarial Science degree will teach you how to look to the future from a business perspective, assess any likely impact, then put a price on mitigating any risk. And with an integral year in industry, you’ll gain invaluable hands-on experience, putting the theory into practice. 

Actuarial Science is exciting, challenging and stimulating – and its skillsets are in increasingly high demand. 

About

If you have a love of mathematics and business but want to work with them in a more applied field, Actuarial Science is a great choice. As well as becoming a professional Actuary, it opens up doors to broader fields including data science and risk management. 

Our multidisciplinary Actuarial Science degree course brings together UEA’s Schools of Mathematics, Computing Sciences and Economics, along with the expertise of practicing actuaries. 

You’ll spend the third year of this four-year degree in a commercial environment, working alongside professional actuaries, gaining a true understanding of the application of technical concepts in the workplace. So you’ll graduate not only with technical skills but with relevant work experience too, putting you one step ahead of other graduates.

A Year in Industry is strongly recommended by our industry contacts, who say it significantly enhances your employment prospects. It will also count towards the work-based skills required to become a Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. 

You’ll gain first-hand knowledge of the mechanics of your chosen field, while greatly improving your chances of progressing within that sector as you secure valuable contacts and insight. What’s more, you’ll be able to put theory into practice in a context governed by real-world time and financial constraints.

Important Information

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the courses listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the regular review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. Changes may for example consist of variations to the content and method of delivery of programmes, courses and other services, to discontinue programmes, courses and other services and to merge or combine programmes or courses. The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will inform students.

Assessment for Year 1

We have a mixture of assessments. These include written work, presentations or demonstrations, and exams (closed and/or time-limited assessment). They combine theoretical understanding with practical application and are designed to test the range of skills and competencies required for the learning outcomes of each module.

You’ll be assessed by a combination of:

Examination (approximately 75-80%)
Written assignments, Demonstrations and Presentations (approximately 20-25%)

The period of study abroad is assessed through the assignments set by the host institution and the marks or grades awarded are mapped to equivalent marks at UEA.

Structure

You’ll commence this four-year degree by further developing your knowledge of mathematics, computing, economics and business. Each year you’ll have the option to choose a traditional actuarial module, or if you’re thinking about specialising in data science, you’ll be able to focus on developing additional computing skills. Plus we’ll help you hone the communication and presentation skills essential to anyone entering the financial sector. 

Compulsory modules in the first year provide you with a clear understanding of mathematics, computing and problem-solving. You’ll build on and develop your pre-existing knowledge and start developing your awareness and understanding of actuarial mathematics, as well as acquiring some practical modelling skills. Options in year 1 allow you to choose between a skills-based module, taught in partnership with practicing actuaries, and an additional computing module, designed to develop your data science skills. 

Teaching and Learning

The Actuarial Science degree at UEA is taught through a combination of lectures, classes, seminars and lab work. Our lab work, classes and seminars are particularly crucial to your degree programme, as they are where we’ll reinforce and expand on the material covered in the lectures.

PROBABILITY

Code MTHA4001B

Credits 10

Probability is the study of the chance of events occurring. It has important applications to understand the likelihood of multiple events happening together and therefore to rational decision-making. This module will give you an introduction to the modern theory of probability developed from the seminal works of the Russian mathematician A.N. Kolmogorov in 1930s. Kolmogorov’s axiomatic theory describes the outcomes (events) of a random experiment as mathematical sets. Using set theory language you will be introduced to the concept of random variables, and consider different examples of discrete random variables (like binomial, geometric and Poisson random variables) and continuous random variables (like the normal random variable). In the last part of the module you will explore two applications of probability: reliability theory and Markov chains. Aside of the standard lectures and workshop sessions, there will be two computer-lab sessions of (2 hours each) where you will apply probability theory to specific everyday life case studies. The only pre-requisites for this module are a basic knowledge of set theory and of calculus that you would have acquired during the Autumn semester. If you have done probability or statistic at A-level you will rediscover its contents now taught using a proper and more elegant mathematical formalism.

CALCULUS

Code MTHA4008A

Credits 20

Calculus is the mathematical study of rates of change. It underpins much of applied mathematics, since we are often interested in determining how quickly things will change, whether that is looking at changes in space or in time. You will start this module by studying complex numbers and vectors. (These topics are not strictly calculus but will be needed in calculus later on.) You will then study differentiation – how to determine the rate of change of one variable or function as another variable changes. You will meet the formal definition of the derivative, and discover how to differentiate from first principles, before learning various rules and techniques for differentiating more complex functions. You will also learn about applications to curve sketching and power series Next you will study integration (the inverse of differentiation), learning various techniques, including substitution and integration by parts, and considering applications to finding areas and arc lengths. You will then learn about methods for solving first and second-order ordinary differential equations. Techniques covered here include reduction of order. and integrating factors. You will learn how to use the computer program Maple to solve differential equations numerically.

PROBABILITY AND MULTIVARIABLE CALCULUS

Code MTHA4008B

Credits 20

Probability is the study of the chance of events occurring. It has important applications to understand the likelihood of multiple events happening together and therefore to rational decision-making. You will be introduced to modern theory of probability. Kolmogorov’s axiomatic theory describes the outcomes (events) of a random experiment as mathematical sets. Using the language of set theory, you will be introduced to the concept of random variables. In addition to examples of discrete random variables (like binomial random variables) and continuous random variables (like the normal random variable), you will explore two applications of probability: reliability theory and Markov chains with computer-lab sessions applying probability theory to case studies. Multivariable calculus extends concepts of calculus to functions of more than one variable. This leads to the idea of partial derivatives. You will also study line integrals and areas integrals in the plane, learn how to change coordinates in multiple integrals using Jacobians, and meet Green's Theorem in the plane.
