Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics BSc(Hons): After you graduate

The Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing has a specialist Employability Team. It provides friendly and high-quality careers and recruitment guidance, including advice and sessions on job seeking skills such as CV preparation, application forms and interview techniques. Specific advice is also available for international students about the UK job market, employers' expectations and requirements, and how to apply for a post-study two-year work visa.

The team runs employer events throughout the year, including job fairs, key speakers from industry and interviews on campus. These events give you the opportunity to hear from, and network with, employers in an informal setting. For example, here students are practising their interview skills with employers at a 'speed interviewing' event on campus.

Listen to employability co-ordinator Katie Llewellyn-Cripps talk about how we prepare our students for employment:

A degree in mathematics and statistics can take you far. From investment banking to environmental charities, from government to agriculture, from healthcare to technology, all sorts of organisations are keen to make use of the numerical skills and techniques you'll learn on your course. They'll also be interested in how you have developed your wider range of skills, including advanced problem solving, analysis and logical thinking.

Actuaries are employed extensively by insurance companies and the government, both for direct policy assessments and for financial planning; their value is recognised by the high salaries they command worldwide.
