The Actuarial Profession making financial sense of the future

Directory of Actuarial Employers – UK and Ireland 2008-2009

What do actuaries do? Actuaries are experts in analysing the past. They construct financial models for the future, assess risk and communicate the results in financial terms. They work in life and non-life insurance, consultancy, healthcare, investment, corporate finance, government service, academia and industry. As an actuary, the decisions you make could affect hundreds of thousands of people in all walks of life. You could even be responsible for billions of pounds of investment. It means the path to qualification is not easy.

What you’ll need You will certainly need a good grade in A-level or Scottish Higher maths, but most people also have a good degree in a numerate subject such as mathematics, statistics, sciences or economics. Actuarial science degrees, including a full-time, one year postgraduate diploma or MSc course, may give exemptions from some of the professional exams.

What you can expect It is very demanding – you will need to study hard for the professional exams, although most employers provide study leave and financial support towards tuition costs. It is also very rewarding. An actuarial career can offer intellectual challenge, professional status, job satisfaction and high earnings. You can also expect real diversity – actuaries are increasingly extending their activities beyond traditional insurance and pension roles so you could find yourself helping companies manage finance for major projects or structuring mergers and acquisitions.

1

What should you do next? If you think it could be for you, an excellent first step would be to do some work experience. This will give you the opportunity to see what the job entails within a real commercial environment. It also gives you a chance to network and will help to set you apart if you decide to pursue a long-term career as an actuary. Applications for work placements are usually made by sending your CV together with a covering letter, or by completing the company’s own application form. You could also approach companies with speculative applications. Your school or university careers services may have information on work experience vacancies too.
