Welcome to the Actuarial Science Group

Actuaries apply mathematical and statistical techniques to financial problems, managing financial risk and making financial sense of the future for their clients.  They look at what has happened in the past and use it to make predictions about the future, developing appropriate strategies to deal with the risks involved.

The Actuarial Science Group at the University of Kent provides several courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels which can lead to exemption from the professional examinations required to qualify as a Fellow of the Institute or Faculty of Actuaries, the professional bodies in the UK to which actuaries belong.

Details/brochures for all of our programmes can be obtained here or contacting the department directly.
