Becoming an actuary is a journey that blends technical expertise with meaningful impact, and at L&G (Legal & General), that journey comes with the guidance, support, and opportunities you need to succeed.
At L&G, you won’t just study, you’ll rotate across different actuarial teams, gain hands-on experience, and build a career that grows with you.
Learn how you can step into roles that shape the future of pensions, life insurance, and investments.
The foundation: Education and entry into actuary
Every actuarial journey begins with a strong academic base. Most people enter the profession with a maths-based degree at 2:1 or above, equipping them with the problem-solving and analytical skills that will underpin their career.
The next step is joining the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries as a student member, an important milestone that unlocks the pathway to professional exams and qualifications.
At L&G, many of our future actuaries begin their exams once they’ve secured a graduate role with us.
This means they can immediately put theory into practice, applying their learning to real business challenges while gaining valuable exemptions along the way. It’s a balance of study and hands-on experience that sets the stage for long-term success.
Support and development for our actuaries at L&G
We know that qualifying as an actuary is a big commitment, which is why we’re with you every step of the way. From day one, you’ll join our Actuarial Student Support and Rotation Programme, designed to give you the breadth of experience and guidance you need to succeed.
Your study and exam costs are fully covered, and you’ll have access to tailored support that helps you balance professional learning with your day-to-day role.
Alongside this, you’ll rotate through different actuarial teams across the business, gaining a broad perspective on how our work shapes life, pensions, and investments. These rotations not only strengthen your technical knowledge but also give you the insight to decide where you’d like to take your career once you’re qualified.
Progression and possibilities
Qualifying as an actuary is just the start. At L&G, we encourage internal mobility, opening doors both within actuarial teams and across the wider business.
Whether you want to specialise, move into leadership, or explore new areas altogether, your qualification gives you the freedom to shape a career that keeps growing with you.
