Actuaries deal with the evaluation and management of financial risks, particularly those associated with insurance companies and pension funds. Actuarial Science applies mathematical skills to a range of applied subjects and helps to solve important problems for governments, academic researchers, as well as insurance and commerce industries.  \nPurely actuarial work in an insurance company consists of placing values on future financed transactions and allowing for the probability of their happening, at various times. For example, an actuary will determine premium rates to be charged for many types of life and pension contracts, assess the adequacy of the accumulated assets to cover the company’s liabilities to its policyholders and advise on the allocation of surplus in the form of bonuses to policyholders. In the course of this work, the actuary exercises judgment as to the appropriate rates of mortality and interest to be used in the calculations, taking into account associated factors such as taxation and other costs.  \nThis does not mean that you can just sit quietly at the back of an office making calculations. Most actuaries work in a commercial environment and must also demonstrate communication skills and practical analysis of business problems.  \nTo reach a MABECS Education Advisor, call us at 03-7956 7655 or email [enquiries@mabecs.com](enquiries@mabecs.com) 02  \nCourse Organisation  \nAn honours degree in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is usually 3 years in duration.
