Actuarial and Insurance Master's in London

I was promoted thanks to my Master's

“Before starting the course, I worked for six years as a Marine Claims Adjuster at Atrium Underwriters. The skills and knowledge I gained from the course, especially through my research on sustainability risks, gave me the confidence and expertise to step up as Head of Claims at Clearwater UW in 2024, a company focused on transforming marine insurance with innovative technology.

The Business Research Project was a real highlight, letting me dive deep into important industry challenges with expert support from Dr. Cormac Bryce. Exploring how sustainability affects risk helped me develop fresh insights that are crucial for today’s insurance market.

This MSc didn’t just improve my understanding, it directly helped me advance my career and take on leadership in a changing industry.”

Secured a job before my graduation

"Prior to studying MSc Actuarial Management, I worked for 3 years with PwC as a Senior Associate within their Risk Modelling Services. I predominantly worked on non-life insurance projects. The MSc in Actuarial Management was very relevant to the actuarial skills used in the industry and offered hands on experience.

Other than the subjects which provide exemption from IFoA examination, several other elective modules helped in my technical development. I particularly liked the business analytics module I took in term 3 which was very challenging and provided the breadth needed for an actuary looking to divulge in new exciting areas.

This is the best University for doing actuarial science

"People who reach out to me, I recommend them: you know what? Go for it. This is the best University for doing actuarial science.

I was rewarded the Iain Allan Bursary Fund, which pushed me towards going for what I want. Each and every thing that I have learnt from Bayes is being applied, and the confidence that the University has given me is something I have cultivated since coming to Bayes.

There has also been very good support from the Careers team, right from day one, guiding us on how to prepare ourselves.

I’m really excited because I’ve got what I wanted. I am in the field that I want to be in, and I’ve always dreamt of."
