Program Description
Program Description
University College Dublin offers an Actuarial & Financial Studies (Hons) degree that will prepare you for a professional career in the actuarial or financial professions, but it has also been designed to be broader and more diverse than most traditional courses in actuarial science.
It takes a combination of strong analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior to design and manage program that control risk and guarantee sufficient funds for the insurance and pension sectors. For example, the actuary works out the risk (e.g. the likelihood of a fire happening) and calculates how much the customer should pay for insurance cover to ensure that the insurance company has sufficient funds to pay out if the incident occurs.
