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.

2

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.
