Hi Bella, I’m a student in Australia wanting to major in actuarial science. Love how informative your videos are. Just wondering about whether you learn about coding like python in your actuarial classes? And how much you use coding in your day to day job? Or does this depend on the type of actuary job you do? I currently do not have any knowledge in coding 😅
Hi Rishma! Thank you 😊 During college, I took a few classes that gave us the opportunity to learn and use Python and/or R Studio through projects and assignments. I found it really helpful to take those classes in college because I could ask my professors for help and see real-life insurance applications. So far in my job, I use coding about 5% of the time. As I continue working on more projects and gaining experience, I expect to use it more. I would say that the type of coding you do and how much you do it depends on the company you work for, not necessarily what type of actuarial job you have! I’d definitely recommend gaining some experience with coding so you can understand how to do it, even if it’s at a basic level! Hope this helps 😃
Hey Bella, do you think having a Masters degree in Actuarial Science makes a difference to employers or do they care more about the exams passed? Thanks!
Hey I am indian high school student aspiring to become an actuary in us i need to get best universities that help me in my actuarial journey . Can you give me a piece of advice or some information about universities that i should know about
Hi! Great question 😀 I'd recommend looking at the universities that are recognized by the SOA as "Centers of Actuarial Excellence" (CAEs). You can find a list of all recognized universities here: www.soa.org/institutions/. Thanks for watching! 💗
Whos the youngest person with FCAS credentials and how long did he take to complete all his exams? I searched it up but all i keep finding is this guy who did it from SOA!
Hi! I found the fastest time to FCAS to be 3.17 years here: www.actuarial-lookup.com/travel-times. If you click on the CAS button, you can see a lot of cool statistics!
@Bella-the-Actuary thanks for replying! but I wanted to know the name of the person(wanted to contact him)....I looked it up again(extensively) and discovered it wasn't publicly known , so probably not gonna find it on the net...am going to prob contact CAS...byeee!

Hi Lynn! Great question 🙂 Typically, employers care more about exams passed, but a masters degree in actuarial science can’t hurt!
