This course is flexible and suits a range of interests. Previous subjects have included policies for the creative city, the democratisation of opera and the motivations of young fashion entrepreneurs.

If you love mathematics, especially modelling and probability, and you are interested in the use of coding, data and IT to solve real-world problems, then you will find this course ideal for you.

As you would expect, the Data Analytics and Actuarial Science undergraduate course sets you up for a career in actuarial science. However, the course will also prepare you for a career in the wider fields of data analysis and risk management, or in investment management or financial analysis.

Traditionally, actuaries have used data to solve problems in the financial risk area. However, the world of finance is being transformed by two major trends – the increase in the volume and types of data and the focus on risk management. This means some problems are now best solved using different data analysis techniques.

This course prepares you for these new challenges. You will explore the traditional actuarial approach to risk management but you’ll also learn about some of the newest areas of data science, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, and their practical application to finance and insurance.

As well as developing your understanding of mathematics, probability, statistics, economics and IT you’ll look into probability modelling, data analysis and the financial markets. You’ll also be able to demonstrate your skills and your ability to communicate your findings in your final year project.

On this degree you will develop highly valuable, transferable skills that open the door to a rewarding career in finance or economics.

You will study current economic theory and practice, financial economics, and the technical mathematics and statistics that underpin them. This supports your professional development, equipping you with the analytical abilities of a trained economist and specific knowledge of the economic aspects of financial markets.

• Develop sought-after quantitative skills required to analyse financial markets
• Show prospective employers your sound knowledge and understanding of the macroeconomic and microeconomic principles underlying various types of financial markets and instruments
• Learn the latest developments in all major fields of economics in a highly energised and supportive environment from lecturers recruited for their research excellence
• Stand out from the crowd with a professional placement year – past students have undertaken placements with organisations like PriceWaterhouseCoopers, HM Treasury, RBS, Goldman Sachs and the Financial Ombudsman Service
• Enjoy professional and social opportunities through the student-led Economics Society
• Follow in the footsteps of recent graduates who now work for major global corporations.
