ST0 - Alternative Specialist Technical

This could include qualification with another professional body or study for an MBA.

Postgraduate study and eligibility for exemption 

You will be eligible for exemption if:

• you have written a postgraduate dissertation or thesis on an actuarial or financial subject.  An undergraduate dissertation cannot be considered;
• you have written a non actuarial MSc, postgraduate diploma, MPhil or PhD in an economics, finance or finance related discipline;
• you hold an MBA from a university that appears on the current FT Global MBA ranking.

If you hold a Masters degree or a postgraduate diploma in actuarial science or actuarial management, the qualification should give exemption from other subjects and will not therefore be eligible for exemption from ST0.

Members of other professional bodies may also be eligible to apply for an exemption from ST0

If you have a qualification from a professional body that we do not have an exemption agreement with, you can still apply for an exemption from ST0

You will need to provide the following:

• documentary evidence of the qualification and the grades attained;
• details of the syllabus for the qualification;
• copies of the examination papers.

All documents must be certified copies signed by your employer, who must be an actuary.

All applications for an exemption from ST0 are reviewed individually

The possession of one of the above qualifications does not automatically mean that applicants will be eligible for the exemption.
