DCU students, who are registered on specified undergraduate degree programmes of the School of Mathematical Sciences, may, on the basis of their DCU examination results, be recommended to the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) for exemption from taking certain specified professional examinations of the IFoA. Further details on the examinations on the IFoA can be found on their website ([www.actuaries.org.uk](www.actuaries.org.uk)).  \nii. There are two mechanisms by which exemptions can be gained, namely under (1) an Accreditation Agreement (AA) or (2) a Subject-by-Subject Exemption Recognition Agreement (ERA) between DCU and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.  \niii. The Faculty of Science & Health and the School of Mathematical Sciences shall facilitate these arrangements under the terms and conditions set out in this document, which are valid for the academic year 2012/2013 and subsequently. The right is reserved to amend these terms and conditions or to discontinue the scheme in subsequent academic years.  \n2. Terms Used in this Document  \nIn this document, some terms are abbreviated:  \ni. The School means the School of Mathematical Sciences in DCU.  \nii. The relevant undergraduate degree programmes of the School are the BSc in Actuarial Mathematics (accredited programme) and the BSc in Financial Mathematics (ERA only) .  \niii. The Faculty Office means the administrative office of the Faculty of Health & Science in DCU.  \niv. Independent Examiners refers to the examiners appointed by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries who make recommendations as to which DCU students should gain exemptions as per the accreditation or ERA agreements.  \nv. If the Independent Examiners base their recommendation for an exemption in a professional examination of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) on a student’s performance in a DCU module, such a module is termed an actuarial module and the final examination is called an actuarial module examination.  \nvi. In what follows, we may use the abbreviations ACM for the BSc in Actuarial Mathematics, FIM for the BSc in Financial Mathematics, PAB for the Progression & Awards Board, IFoA for the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, CP for Core Principles, AA for the Accreditation Agreement and ERA for the Exemption Recognition Agreement.  \n3. Gaining Exemptions from Actuarial Examinations  \ni. To qualify as an actuary with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) one must pass the professional examinations of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Please see the IFoA website ([www.actuaries.org.uk](www.actuaries.org.uk)) for details on the routes to qualification as an actuary with the IFoA.  \nii. As an alternative to sitting some of the IFoA’s professional examinations undergraduates on certain DCU undergraduate programmes (see §2) may be exempted (by the IFoA) from specified professional examinations, on the basis of recommendations from Independent Examiners approved by the IFoA. Students may claim such exemptions following successful completion of their degree programme (see  \n§8) . The exemptions only map to certain IFoA professional examinations as described below and further examinations are r","cbCaibdmTs5ASaS2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibdmTs5ASaS2","pdf",366569,"English","# Introduction\n# Terms Used in This Document\n# Gaining Exemptions from Actuarial Examinations\n# The Accreditation Agreement (AA)\n# The Exemption Recognition Agreement (ERA)\n# General Conditions Relating to Exemptions\n# Communicating with the University\n# Claiming Your Exemptions\n# Approved List of Calculators\n# Mapping of DCU Modules in 2025/26 to IFoA Examinations","[{\"question\":\"What are the two mechanisms for gaining IFoA exemptions?\",\"answer\":\"Exemptions are gained either under an Accreditation Agreement (AA) or under a Subject-by-Subject Exemption Recognition Agreement (ERA) between DCU and the IFoA.\"},{\"question\":\"Which students and degree programmes are eligible to be recommended for actuarial exemptions?\",\"answer\":\"DCU students registered on specified undergraduate degree programmes of the School of Mathematical Sciences may be recommended for exemptions based on their DCU examination results.\"},{\"question\":\"How do DCU modules relate to IFoA Core Principles examinations for the 2025/26 academic year?\",\"answer\":\"The mapping between DCU modules and IFoA Core Principles Series Subjects varies by year and is provided in the document section on mapping for 2025/26.\"}]","School of Mathematical Sciences - Terms & Conditions for Students Sitting Examinations - Actuarial Exemptions - September 2025 | PDF",1790488981,25]
