In no particular order:
LSE
Cass Business School
Heriot Watt
East Anglia
Warwick (the course is called MORSE but gives you exemptions from Actuarial Exams)
Dublin City
Kent
Leicester
University College Dublin
Queens Belfast
Southampton
Manchester
Leeds

I applied to LSE, Cass, Queens Belfast and Heriot Watt. I made LSE my firm choice so grades permitting I'll be going there in September. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer.

Cass Business school is the best in my opinion, just because your getting lectures first hand from people who have worked in the sector, and there connections are ridiculously good.

I got AAAA at AS in Maths, Economics, Chemistry and Physics. I'm doing all 4 for A2 and I think I was predicted A*AAA, can't remember exactly though (the A* being in Maths.) I'd say you're definitely in with a shout of getting an offer. You could always repeat a Biology Module to try and bring yourself up a grade or two. If you drop your Biology perhaps you would have time to do an extra AS level next year? Doing Further Maths even to AS Level would really strengthen your application, as it says on the LSE website that it is "highly desireable." It's still possible to get an offer for Actuarial Science at any university without doing Further Maths (I'm an example of that) but it would definitely help to do it. What are your GCSE grades like? If they're good that could make up for the lower grade in Biology.

I think Cass Business School is the best University for studying Actuarial Science . Because of the entry requirement is A*AA . LSE is the second high requirement : AAA.

I've applied to Actuarial Science this year with AAAA at AS in Chem Bio Physics and Maths. Predicted A*A*A. GCSEs were 8A* 2A. Still waiting on LSE response. Was wondering if anyone knows of someone who studies Actuarial Science at LSE who didn't do Further Maths for A Level? Website says it is highly desirable so worried I might miss out...
