Actuarial Science is the profession concerned with the application of mathematical, statistical, probabilistic, and financial theories to solve real business problems. These problems involve analyzing future financial events, especially where future payments involved have certain or uncertain timing. The traditional areas in which actuaries operate are; life and general insurance, pensions, and investment. Actuaries are also increasingly moving into other fields like health insurance, solvency measurements, and asset-liability management, financial risk management, mortality and morbidity investigation, and so on where their analytical skills can be employed. Currently, there is high demand for Actuarial Science expertise locally, regionally, and internationally.

The B.Sc. in Actuarial Science course (which was started in 1999) is designed to equip the students with training in theoretical and practical aspects of Actuarial Science in order for them to work in life and non-life insurance companies (designing insurance products and valuing financial contracts and investing funds); consultancy (offering advice to occupational pension funds and employee benefit plans); government service (supervising insurance companies and advising on the national insurance); and also in the stock exchange, industry, commerce, and academia.

The aim of this programme is to provide students with the opportunity to develop confidence and skills to apply Actuarial Science techniques to solve practical problems in the financial sector and society in general. This course is ideal for those who excel in and enjoy mathematics, in particular modeling and probability, especially those who like asking “What if?”. It will equip the student with the skills to become an actuary and also offers a good starting point for those who want to use their skills in risk management, investment management, or financial analysis.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAMME

The philosophy of the programme is to foster excellence in academic freedom, professionalism, and integrity through quality scholarly teaching, training, and research in Actuarial Science.

OBJECTIVES                   

The objectives of the programme shall be to: 

  1. Equip the students with good knowledge of fundamental principles of the Theory and Methods of Actuarial Science.
