This unique UK program merges economics with actuarial science. Actuarial science employs mathematical and statistical techniques to evaluate risk and uncertainty. Professionals in this field play crucial roles in sectors like insurance and finance. In your first year, you'll gain hands-on experience with Bloomberg trading terminals while collaborating with peers from the Mathematics and Actuarial Science program. Your A level outcomes will guide your selection of required modules. The curriculum includes fundamental courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and quantitative analysis. Elective options allow you to tailor your education to personal interests or professional goals, with choices ranging from international commerce to mortality models or government economics. You may also select courses from other departments beyond Economics and Mathematics. Instruction occurs through lectures and intimate seminar groups. Campus resources feature a behavioral economics lab and the Financial Laboratory (FinLab), which replicates an authentic trading floor with access to comprehensive financial datasets.
