You excel in and enjoy mathematics, especially modelling and probability. You love asking “What if?”.

The skills you gain on the Actuarial Science undergraduate course will kickstart your actuarial career. You can also enter careers in risk management, investment management or financial analysis.

If you enjoy mathematics, statistics, probability and economics you will find this course ideal. For the duration of your degree, you’ll delve deeper into these core subjects, as well as stochastic models, finance and financial reporting, business and, naturally, actuarial science itself. You’ll also produce a self-researched final-year project on an area that interests you and reflects your ambitions.

Gain the theoretical and practical skills you need to embark on a fulfilling career in real estate and finance.

MSc Real Estate Investment

The MSc Real Estate Investment course requires a stronger background or aptitude in quantitative methods - from mathematics at final year high-school level, a degree with a quantitative element, or work experience. The course covers the same core “real estate professional” skills as the MSc Real Estate course but takes them at a faster pace. The MSc Real Estate Investment then extends to advanced methods in financial modelling, industry research and portfolio analysis, and covers in more detail the financial markets created by Real Estate Investment Trusts and Mortgage Backed Securities. Graduates from this course may enter the same businesses as those from the MSc Real Estate, but will be better qualified for “real estate analyst” roles in investment strategy, financing and research.

You will develop a strong understanding of the main areas of psychology – cognition, development, biology and the history of psychological theories – as well as key theories and concepts of criminology and criminal justice.

Learning from research-active staff and practitioners across two academic departments, you will have the opportunity to study topics combining your two specialisms, including: forensic psychology, memory and the law, and judgement and decision making.

• Acquire criminological expertise and skills to give you the competitive edge in applying for careers in crime and crime control, criminal justice system and related fields
• Develop the research expertise to investigate crime and criminal justice data, applying technical skills to carefully appraise evidence
• Gain analytical skills to engage critically with real-world criminal justice policy debates
• Study a broad range of topics within the discipline of psychology, including the application of psychological knowledge in a range of professional areas
• Shape your studies to suit your interests, with a very wide range of elective modules
• Boost your employability with BPS-accreditation and highly sought-after data literacy skills.
