The modules listed below are offered by the Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics Department. The `level' of the module is indicated by the third digit in the module code and the term in which the module is taught is indicated by the last digit in the module code, e.g. 17.3SK2 (Stochastic Processes 1) is a third-level module which is taught in the second term. Further information about these modules is available in the Students' Guide 2003-2004.
NOTE: Depending on the modules taken at Heriot-Watt, it is also possible for Junior Year Abroad students to obtain exemption from some SOA examinations.
