Imperial College – Actuarial Careers Fair 2011

Posted on 5 December 2011 | 1 Comment

We feel very proud to once again have sponsored Imperial College Actuarial Careers Fair!

As always the event was excellent – both the evening itself and the companies who attended.

Special thanks of course go to Imperial College for having organized such a great evening, offering us great atmosphere and a wonderful opportunity for Business networking… all accompanied with floods of wine and more sushi than in down town Tokyo!

We were truly delighted to be in the presence of such important guests as AON, Buck Consultants, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Inside Careers, Mercer, Milliman, Pricewaterhouse Cooper, The Actuarial Profession, Towers Watson and last but not least Zurich Financial Services.

Therefore, THANK YOU ALL!

We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did and that you had the chance to meet good grads!

Thanks again, we hope to see you all very soon!

Largest Ever Fair Tomorrow

Posted on 2 November 2010 | Leave a comment

Tomorrow’s Actuarial Careers Fair at Heriot Watt is set to be our largest ever with 15 actuarial employers in attendance.

The fair will be held in the Ceder Suite but will also burst out into the adjoining corridor so the room should be easy to find.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet a wide range of employers and we look forward to building on our previous success.

If you are based closer to London then don’t forget that we are also holding a similar event together with the Imperial College Business School on the 10th of November.

Event Planning at Imperial

Posted on 22 June 2010 | Leave a comment

We went for a meeting at the Imperial College Business School to discuss arrangements for the next careers fair.

It was agreed that last year’s event was an overwhelming success with many of the companies in attendance able to recruit interns and entry level students. A number of the companies attending, who previously had not sponsored students for the Imperial MSc have said that they will now be sponsoring students for future intakes.

Once again it will be an evening event but this time it will be held in the Autumn term and will start with some talks highlighting aspects of the Actuarial Finance MSc course at Imperial. There will be wine, cheese and light refreshments and networking oprotunities with the companies participating.
