Qualifying as an actuary is a passport to a wide variety of careers in insurance companies, investments, pensions, health care and banking – not just in the UK, but throughout the world.

Accreditation:

Our Integrated Master’s programme is fully accredited by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. It is equivalent to the conversion MSc in Actuarial Science followed by the one-year MSc in Applied Actuarial Science.

The Integrated Master’s in Applied Actuarial Science programme provides a fast-track route to qualifying as an actuary.

As one of the few universities to offer actuarial science in the UK, Kent’s programme is recognised for its strong mix of theoretical and practical expertise. The teaching staff include many actuaries drawn from professional practice, along with specialised researchers.

About the Centre for Actuarial Science, Risk and Investment:

In 2010, the Centre for Actuarial Science, Risk and Investment (CASRI) was set up to reflect the widening scope of the teaching and research of our staff.

Within CASRI, research in actuarial science can be broadly classified into the following three themes: economic capital and financial risk management, longevity risk modelling, and public policy aspects of insurance risk classification. 

This achieves a balance between theoretical and applied investigations, as well as addressing social policy implications. The group has a deep and long-standing association with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, as well as with other educational institutions worldwide.
