Check if you qualify

Actuarial science uses mathematics, statistics, and financial theory to measure and manage risk. At Pentecost University, this degree sits within the Faculty of Engineering Science and Computing and will prepare you for roles in insurance, pensions, and finance.

What actuarial science programmes cover

These programmes typically combine mathematics, statistics, economics, and finance. You learn to model uncertain events, calculate probabilities, and price insurance and pension products. The work builds strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and you will be comfortable interpreting data and making decisions under uncertainty.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to actuarial science at Pentecost University is less competitive than at the large public universities that offer the same course, such as KNUST, University of Ghana, and University of Cape Coast. The faculty admits students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds, so there is a range of routes in. Check the published entry requirements to see if your WASSCE grades qualify.
