This course will be highly intensive and therefore a candidate's ability to cope with its demand is crucial. The relatively low fees are aimed at encouraging employers and other bodies to sponsor students from developing countries, in particular from Africa. Only a handful of such students have qualified to become actuaries in the last ten years and to our knowledge, no other African university offers anything similar. Students may apply for university accommodation. Unfortunately due to the limited number of available places, accommodation within the university residences cannot be guaranteed.
Private accommodation is however available within reasonable proximity.
Applying Prospective students must apply, using the prescribed form . While the closing date is October 31, applications will be considered after this date, subject to space being available. The programme caters for a limited number, and applicants will be considered on merit. Applicants will be asked to submit reports from two referees and provide written motivation of why they want to enroll for the programme. This is intended to ensure that students are well aware of what the programme demands.
