Which university is better for actuarial science in domestic universities? Fudan? NPC？ Central finance and economics? Or Nankai?

Among the universities in North China that have opened undergraduate or postgraduate actuarial majors, such as Nankai University, Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Hunan University of Finance and Economics and Fudan University, Central University of Finance and Economics is the earliest and only university in that is committed to introducing and adhering to the British actuarial teaching system and examination system. Since 1993, the first batch of graduate students majoring in actuarial science have successfully entered the school, and 27 students have obtained the actuarial skills certificate, 9 of whom have obtained the investment and financial management certificate. The passing rate of each of its students is the highest in the world, which makes the British Association of Actuaries sit up and take notice. This project is the result of Sino-British cooperation. It is sponsored by the well-known British Eagle Star Insurance Company, a member of Zurich Financial Services Group, and bears huge expenses such as membership fees, materials fees, examination fees, teaching materials fees and part of tuition fees.

Passing the British actuary qualification examination is a long and arduous exercise and struggle process, which requires not only high intellectual factors, but also the spirit of courage and perseverance, and physical health is also essential. Generally speaking, it is almost impossible to obtain an actuary's certificate without a protracted war of 8 ~ 10 years, even in Britain where the mother tongue is used for the examination. In addition, although doctors, professors and actuaries from Shiloh Watt University, British Actuaries Association and Eagle Star Insurance Company came to China to provide short-term lectures, answer questions and review guidance, the characteristics of the examination determined that they could not pass smoothly without strong self-study ability.

At present, the postgraduate major of the Central University of Finance and Economics is enrolled in the name of the tutor group. Those students who have strong English communication skills, high English reading level, thorough understanding and strong interest in the nature and application of probability statistics, and rich knowledge of economics will be appreciated and favored by the tutor group.

Postgraduates majoring in actuarial science in Central University of Finance and Economics have enrolled 93, 95 and 97 students, and 1999 enrollment is coming to an end. As in previous years, 1999 enrolls 17 graduate students in actuarial science, among which there is no place to walk without a test. In particular, the postgraduate work of the Central University of Finance and Economics has always been known as "openness, fairness and transparency" in Beijing, and candidates do not have to worry about the intervention of the "invisible hand" behind them. The number of applicants for 1997 was 58. By 1999, the number of applicants almost doubled, reaching 1 15, showing the degree of competition. 1999, online 17 people, admitted 17 people, the admission ratio is between 7 1 and 8 1. It is expected that this proportion will increase in the future.

From the distribution direction, the employment units of graduate students in actuarial direction include CIRC, headquarters of major insurance companies, universities and so on. In addition, foreign-funded insurance institutions, joint-venture insurance institutions, the Ministry of Social Security, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the banking system and other units that are allowed to start business are also very interested in actuarial talents. Take the distribution of 95-grade actuarial graduate students as an example: 2 people went abroad, 1 joined the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, 1 went to Shenzhen Ping An Insurance Company, 2 people went to Xinhua Life Insurance Company, 4 people went to Taikang Life Insurance Company, 3 people went to China Life Insurance Company, and 2 people who went to Xinhua got a rare opportunity to study and work in Britain; Other companies are also preparing or about to launch similar exchange training programs.

Due to the scarcity of senior actuaries, the needs of the company's talent reserve strategy for future development, and the good reputation created by Cai Zhong graduate students in the insurance industry, actuarial graduate students can be said to be in demand among Cai Zhong graduate students. In recent years, although the actuarial preparation of insurance companies is close to the saturation of the current business scale, other departments, such as the planning department and the management department, are still open to recruiting actuarial graduate students. If not limited by some policy factors, an insurance company in Beijing and an insurance company in Shenzhen even came up with the idea of "package acceptance" after interviewing 95 students from the Central University of Finance and Economics.

There are 97 actuarial graduate students, *** 1 1, of whom 2 are from liberal arts and 9 are from science and engineering. Their majors can be described as varied, and graduate institutions are all over the country. Although they have no insurance foundation, this has not prevented them from achieving impressive results in actuarial examinations; 1 1 Eight people have passed the actuarial skill certificate at one time, so candidates don't have to pay too much attention to historical factors such as professional background.

In order to adapt to the characteristics of actuarial examination in Britain, the subjects of actuarial postgraduate entrance examination are quite special. The designated textbooks for Cai Zhong Western Economics Examination are Western Macroeconomics and Western Microeconomics edited by Hou Ronghua and Zhao Guoliang. This book has always been the basis and blueprint for Cai Zhong to draw up an economic examination outline. For further analysis and research, Western Economics (Volume I and II), edited by Gao Hongye and Wu Yifeng, Economic Science Press, is still a required reading model for candidates. In addition, it is best for candidates to read relevant papers published in Economic Research to help candidates broaden their horizons, activate their thinking, master answering skills, and master methods of analyzing phenomena and solving problems with theory. Finally, candidates can't ignore the choice and judgment of calculation questions, proof questions and objective questions.

There is no specific textbook for the examination of probability theory and mathematical statistics, but candidates need not be greedy for perfection at all, because the topics involved in the examination are basically not divorced from the core content of probability theory and mathematical statistics. Probability and Mathematical Statistics published by Higher Education Press and compiled by the Mathematics Teaching and Research Section of Zhejiang University, or Probability and Mathematical Statistics published by Renmin University of China Press can be used as reference materials. As long as you thoroughly understand either of these two books, if there is no accident, the exams of probability theory and mathematical statistics will not be obstacles.

Candidates must seriously consider the following factors before entering the actuarial examination. What is their English proficiency (including listening, speaking, reading and writing)? Is your idea of probability statistics clear? Is your knowledge of economics comprehensive? In particular, do you have the courage to bear hardships, indomitable perseverance, good health and optimistic personality? It is too common for people who are weak-willed or physically exhausted to be eliminated.

Since graduate students majoring in actuarial science are all self-recruited, after receiving the notice of achievement and the admission scores announced by the state, candidates can determine whether there is their own name on the admission list according to the principle of equal admission and ranking the scores from high to low. With the increase in the number of applicants, the possibility of switching from other volunteers to actuaries no longer exists.

Interviews are usually held in late April or early May. There are two procedures: written Probability Statistics and oral English Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing Translation. There is only one admission principle: the score standard, without any other tendency.
