Actuarial grad schemes 2016

Hi, I've just been invited to an interview for an internship at LCP in the pensions department. Please can anyone advise me on what to expect? Thanks

Hello everyone this is my first post. I am currently in my 3rd year at Bristol university studying Maths Msci but i am Thinking about dropping my 4th year and just completing the Bsc In maths. I have spoken to the department and i have until 1st April to decide if i'm continuing on the Msci or changing to the Bsc which would mean i finish this June. I am aspiring to become and Actuary and was wandering if anyone has any advice on whether I should continue with 4 years or not because i am not keen on doing the 4th year if i don't have to. So i would like to finish this June with the Bsc. However i am willing to complete the 4th year if it will really boost my chances of employment.

So really my question is do i really need an Msci in Maths to become an Actuary or is the Bsc enough?

Thanks.

How's applications/offers going?

Anyone else interested in this thread? Anyone else going for Actuarial internships?

I'm in the middle of applications to Zurich, Barnett Waddingham, Allianz, Punter Southall and AON. What about you?

Are you applying to the London offices or regional offices?

I have had an AC for Willis Towers Watson, a phone interview with Barnett Waddingham and completed the tests for Allianz and a few others.

Regional the only London one is Allianz for me. What about you? How was you BW phone interview, I would love to work with them!

Mine are all for London.
The BW interview was quite laid back and they expanded on my answers on the application form. All I have seen about them suggests that they are a great company to work for. Hopefully I did well enough to progress to the AC.

You definitely would love to work with us (y)

Ah good! Had a PwC phone interview the other day and found it rather intimidating. Do they just sort of want to know more about you and ask you about the role and those questions?

How long after you sent your application did you hear back from BW? And how long has it been since your phone interview? good luck, I hope you get there too

The BW interview was really good - just expanded on my answers on the application form - why did you pick your Uni etc etc and then a couple of competency questions.
I think it was about 5 weeks from submission to the phone call. The lady said that she will ring me either before or on Weds and if I get through the AC is on Nov 22nd . I hope so too and good luck to you as well

Ah good! I have a lot to say about all of my answers so hopefully won't be too scary haha! Did you apply to Trustee Consulting or Insurance? I'm applying for Trustee Consulting so only sent my application yesterday! Put so much time and effort into the written questions, really hope it's enough to get me a phone interview!

I have an offer, I have an offer. I have a summer internship offer

Nice! Do you mind me asking where for?
