Economics and actuarial science is a pairing that combines two of the most rigorous and practically important of the quantitative disciplines. Economics provides the analytical frameworks for understanding how markets, incentives and institutions shape behaviour and outcomes at every scale, from individual decisions to global trade flows. Actuarial science applies mathematical and statistical methods to the specific challenge of assessing risk and uncertainty in insurance, pensions, finance and related fields, and is the basis for one of the most professionally valued and financially rewarding of all graduate careers. At the University of Southampton, this three-year full-time degree uniquely combines these two disciplines. You will develop a grounding in economic theory and quantitative methods alongside the actuarial science content that prepares you for the professional examination p
