Are they called actuarial scientist or actuary/actuarial? Though I didn't study actuarial science, I did intro to actuarial science as a course and believe me actuarial science is a nice field which application to real life situation is vast. Would've studied the course, but unilag was making a big deal of it by requesting for a credit in further maths at ssce level. 1 Like |

mikeayus:I studied insurance. I didn't school in unilag eventually so I might not know any gist about their actuarial science being reckoned wit or not. But I know actuarial science is a course that will never leave u jobless if u have at least a good result 2 Likes 2 Shares |

ajasa4link:yea dats right, career prospects aint too encouraging in Nigeria for now, but its crazily in high demand overseas where actuaries are needed in a large number |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by ajasa4link: 9:37pm On Oct 18, 2015 |

Over the past several years, the actuarial
profession has routinely ranked as one of the
most desirable jobs in America.
No matter the source, actuary is consistently
rated as one of the best jobs in America.
US News and World Report, the Jobs Rated
Almanac, CNN Money, and others all agree:
few other occupations offer the combination
of benefits that an actuarial career can offer.
In almost every category, such as work
environment, employment outlook, job
security, growth opportunity, and salary
(especially salary), a career as an actuary is
hard to beat. |

joseph310588:pls, what was the O'level requirement for this course? |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Mustiboy(m): 11:35am On Jan 11, 2017 |
Lordnewton1:pls, what was the O'level requirement for this course? And cut off? |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by FAVOUR13: 12:34pm On Jan 11, 2017 |
It's an interesting field but you need to prove to the society how relevant you are as an actuarial scientist. Low awareness about this course in Nigeria. I did not do pure actuarial science, only specialize in it |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Lordnewton1(m): 5:21pm On Jan 21, 2017 |
Mustiboy:For o'level : maths, English, economics, and other relevant subjects including account Cut off mark depends on average aggregate scores of those who applied for the course |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Mustiboy(m): 7:42am On Jan 22, 2017 |
Lordnewton1:I don't have account o. the reason why I asked was that in the brochure, they stated we need English, maths, economics, government and any other subject for o level. I'm planning to make any of agriculture or biology the fifth subject cause those are the subjects I have left. but someone told me one must have further maths but on the contrary, you're saying I need accounting. plz, what do I do? |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Lordnewton1(m): 7:24pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
Mustiboy:further maths is no longer needed for actuarial science in Unilag. It's important to note that they accept commercial or science student as a result crk and lit-in-eng are not relevant. And I believe (at least in my secondary school) that agriculture and biology are general subjects. That's was why I recommended account as a relevant subject. |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Mustiboy(m): 7:35pm On Jan 26, 2017 |
Lordnewton1:so, does that mean I can choose agric as the core fifth subject? |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Lordnewton1(m): 12:09am On Jan 27, 2017 |
Mustiboy:you can but account is much more relevant here. You have the basic requirements already IE math, eng, economics, government..Not so sure about agric or biology. |
Re: ACTUARIES Get In Here!! by Mustiboy(m): 8:54am On Jan 27, 2017 |
Lordnewton1:thank you very much bro |
