About
Due to the importance of their roles in managing risk and ensuring financial stability, actuaries need agile mathematical minds and razor-sharp analytical skills. On top of strong technical skills, the Faculty's Actuarial Science programme stands out for giving its students the long-term edge in their careers by preparing them for the examinations of professional boards such as the Society of Actuaries (SoA). Many of our students have passed four out of the five preliminary SoA examinations during their undergraduate study with UCSI.
