Induction will involve completing the final stages of the student registration process.
Once the formalities are complete, you will have the opportunity to attend pre-study programming modules (including R and Python), take part in a refresher course in Actuarial Mathematics, receive an introduction to careers services, and attend the annual careers fair, as detailed in the induction timetable. More careers and professional development events will follow.
You will also learn about the course structure and the exemptions recommendation process, and get to know your fellow students, the Course Director, and the Faculty.
We look forward to welcoming you all in September!
