Bsc Actuarial Science (Foundation)

at Bayes Business School

The Foundation course has been designed to familiarise you with material that you will study in more depth in later years of the Actuarial Science degree programme.

The teaching style on the foundation course is different to that which you will encounter on the rest of the degree. The foundation course will have lower numbers of students than on the main degree programme and there is more continual assessment. This will help you to make the adjustment from the teaching style at most schools and colleges to the university style, which usually requires more self-study.

Unlike the other years of your degree, there is no exam period due to the use of continual assessment which takes the form of in-class tests and take home courseworks, which can be both individual and group based.
