We are the UK’s only chartered professional body dedicated to educating, developing and regulating actuaries around the world.

An actuary is someone who works within the business and financial sector.  They use their great mathematics, statistical, probability, modelling, numerical and problem solving skills to model and predict the risk before business decisions are made.

If you love maths and want a career where you use your mathematical skill every day then becoming an actuarial professional might be for you.
