Actuarial Sciences!

[anwar2400]

HKU is the co-best in Asia along with NUS

London School of Economics is also very good but its very focused on economics and related things

pakiboy: The best place for Actuarial Sciences is pretty much England right now. And LSE is the best possible university for this degree. But anyone's chances of securing a scholarship in England are very bleak. They can give you a relaxation on the grades they require in A'levels but they seldom give aid. For LSE, the most I have heard is of 25% scholarship and that concession too is only of the tuition fee. If you really want a scholarship then apply to less known universities. As for NUS and HKU, I haven't heard of anyone doing Actuarial sciences from there. But Australia might be a good prospect.
Btw, your subject selection is fine. FM is definitely a double credit subject. And yes, a bit of diversity in your subjects is good but Economics and Physics provide just that for you. Make sure you secure the best possible AS level grades and a good FM predicted grade.

Yes. He's totally right. The best place in the UK, if not in the world, for doing Actuarial Sciences is LSE. Their program is intense, demanding and fruitful. You don't really get to choose your modules.
But it surely is highly regarded.

FM is not in the requirements. But keep in mind that you are competing with the world's bests students, who, they, will have a basket full of A levels.

FM IS necessary to get in. Because of the competition, it is.

[bleh goreh]

are there further maths revision/ question papers on this site? i cant find them...

 

[pakiboy]

Thanks a lot for the advice guys, though I was not able to get scholarship bcz I never applied for that but I did get accepted into lse wwhich was itself like a dream come true. Financial constraints didnot allow me to go study there, therefore I am currently doing bsc economics from lums which is a little dissapointing for me because my hopes were really high.
I hope you all are studying in your desired universities and doing actuarial science, good luck
