Not specifically but I might look into doing modules in it whilst at uni in my maths degree.
Why have you applied to do actuarial science?
My mum works with actuaries :smile:


I've always loved the idea of actuarial work, but the thought of a maths degree just realyl doesn't feel right. I looked into Maths & Stats, but still didn't feel completely sure. I'd have loved Warwicks MORSE but I didn't think I'd stand a chance in getting in, so didn't apply. Sort of wish I did, but I'd never meet the offers (no further maths and I've not got the time to do STEP)

Well I have 2 favourites which have different plus/bad points - lancaster and leeds. I have an offer from lancaster but not leeds yet. If i do get one that'll have to be my firm as the offer (if as stated when i applied) will be higher, so lancaster will be my insurance...but i really cant decide between the two......

Are you?

Ahhh. Well thats a good idea :smile: If you do go into actuarial work you're exempt from some of the exams you have to take after being qualified so.....
I dont like stats all that much....more pure stuff so i didnt want to have to do stats modules. I like the freedom of maths degrees - you can do almost anything!! Even elective modules in other subjects so...
MORSE does sound good yeah but you needed Further maths a level to get in and i only have an AS which i'm doing this year. Hopefully that'll help me at uni as i'll have previously learnt some of the stuff in a classroom environment rather than 100 other people!!

I've applied to Heriot-Watt (BBB), Liverpool (ABB), Sheffield, Leeds and Lancaster (ABB).....but the only two i really want to go to if i get an offer from leeds, is leeds and lancaster :smile:

What about you?

Lancaster gave an ABB offer? *_* Why is this?
Is the University of Lancaster a good University for Mathematics? It looks good in the rankings, however, if you said to someone you were at Lancaster, it wouldn't be as good as saying I go to King's College London, even though it is lower.

I love stats...and I've purposely applied for courses with the most exemptions and/or year in industry so I've got experience as well :smile: I loved the look of Leeds but the amount of exemptions were too low for what I felt I wanted :frown:

I applied to Kent, UEA, City, Heriot Watt and Southampton. All offers are back now, ranging from ABB-A*AA. I'm firming Kent, and insuring with UEA :smile:

Well I applied to German and Maths which isnt a very popular course.... but even if it was just maths the offer was AAB..... Its a well respected uni with low offers to attract people i guess :smile:

That's not true, myself and many others on here hold offers for G103 at Imperial.
