Programme Summary

The course is of four years’ duration and falls naturally into two halves. In the first four semesters (i.e. Years 1 and 2), the aim of the programme is to provide the student with a broad introduction to the main branches of modern mathematics and its applications, enabling students to make informed choices regarding their choice of specialist topics in the latter half of the course. In the second half (Years 3 and 4), the course concentrates on those areas of mathematics that may be applied to problems in finance, insurance and banking, and in particular in the methods of actuarial mathematics.
