UK Actuarial Graduate Programme 2012
We understand that choosing your career path is an extremely difficult decision, therefore we hope that from the information provided, you can decide whether a career within Munich Re is for you.

Munich Re takes on only a small number of exceptional graduates each year as trainee Actuaries. To maintain our leading position we are selective about both technical aptitude and wider skills. The successful candidates, we except four for September 2012, will join our International Graduate Programme.

Our Graduate Programme offers numerous opportunities, including visiting our Munich offices throughout the programme to attend various tailored training modules. This will give you the chance to network with other graduates within Munich Re in our various global offices, expand your knowledge of the business and increase your future career opportunities.

The Actuarial Graduate Programme is ideal for individuals who have recently graduated from, or are currently studying towards, a mathematical degree or other numerate discipline and who are seeking a career that will allow them to use their skills and knowledge to solve problems and measure risk. If you feel that you are reliable and ambitious with excellent communication skills and would be committed to completing your actuarial exams, this opportunity may be for you!

We actively encourage all Graduate Actuaries to undertake actuarial qualifications and offer a competitive study policy within a supportive culture. 15% of those currently employed within our life branch are studying towards their actuarial qualifications. Student and qualified actuaries are also given the opportunity to rotate around the various divisions within the business, allowing them to expand their knowledge and skills and offering them the opportunity to be involved in various projects.
