I am currently in the final year of my undergraduate degree (BSc in Computer Science,Mathematics and Statistics) and I wanted to know if actuarial students generally pursue graduate degrees(not necessarily actuarial degrees). From my research, I believe students prefer looking for a job and aim to qualify rather than pursue higher studies. My questions are- How will a graduate degree affect my actuarial career? Which degrees, other than an MS in Actuarial Science, will be relevant?
1) as far as I believe, Initially graduate degree,or more higher studies will affect your actuarial career in good way(for Ex:- campus placements, contacts).But, ultimately all the Fellow Actuaries considered by the working knowledge and skills besides bookwork. 2) M.Stat/M.Stat and M.S. (Q.E) from "Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata" is most relevant nowadays.......after you'll likely to get exemption
