"Prior to studying MSc Actuarial Management, I worked for 3 years with PwC as a Senior Associate within their Risk Modelling Services. The course was very relevant to the actuarial skills used in the industry and offered hands on experience. I particularly liked the business analytics module which was very challenging and provided the breadth needed for an actuary looking to divulge in new exciting areas. I am now a Senior Actuarial Analyst at Zurich Insurance and part of the P&C Actuarial Reserving Team, working on the IFRS 17 Project."
