ST0 exemption for Master Dissertation

Please can you tell me what your evidence looked like e.g. how long it was and what sections was it split into?

Thanks

 

Hi,

I got this exemption because I have an MBA from a specific list that IFoA refers to. I had to send my transcript along with it.

 

Hi Laura,

Is there any mark needed for this in the dissertation?

 

can we still get the exemption just from a masters in a field relating? Or do we need to have a thesis?

 

Hi
I’m not sure about the mark, I think they have a mark specified for the other exemptions so may be worth a look at the full guidance on exemptions.
My sp0 exemption was specifically for my dissertation, it was on health related data, but all the modelling and statistics I used was very relevant to actuarial. I did just straight up msc. Statistics so not an actuarial one.
I would say read the guidance and if you think at all you are eligible; and your employer is willing to support an application for exemption, you should apply for it as you have nothing to loose!
Good luck & if worst comes to worst end you have to do the sp it will be useful for your sa anyway! I had to read and learn the one I was exempt from before my sa exam.

I’m honestly not sure - you’re best asking the ifoa and I would always apply if you’re not certain you wouldn’t get the exemption. It’s a few years since I qualified now so am not familiar with the most recent rules.
Good luck!
