Ibero actuaries can be inserted into any institution or initiative that benefits from a hybrid vision that combines mathematical formality, economic knowledge, correct financial management, statistical practice, and computational skill. This includes, among others, statistical consulting firms, investment funds, insurance companies, government agencies, financial intermediaries, among others. The vast majority of students in the final semesters are already working in a company.
06
Only at Ibero will you find a curriculum fully inspired by the Syllabus proposed as an international standard by the International Actuarial Association. We are the institution whose orientation responds most fully to the changes the actuarial profession is undergoing worldwide, including subjects in our curriculum that will train you in the management, uses, and models of data.

Our degree completion process prioritizes your development by requiring the approval of a Society of Actuaries (SOA) exam.

Being an Ibero actuary implies having a mathematical formalism and being at the forefront of computational models for solving social, financial, and economic problems.
07
Our curriculum closely follows the Syllabus proposed by the International Actuarial Association (IAA) and includes all the professional paths recognized by it, including Data Science.

Our degree completion process is supported by the most demanding society in terms of actuarial training: the Society of Actuaries (SOA). In this way, our graduates demonstrate knowledge with global validity and relevance, while being prepared for all the challenges of the future.
08
The hybrid profile of the bachelor's degree gives students a lot of flexibility. They can choose between going to a very technical faculty to study their mathematical foundations or, on the contrary, visiting divisions of social and human sciences to deepen their economic and financial knowledge.

The exchange can be carried out anywhere in the world, at universities with or without an agreement.
09
Our program participates in the Technical Consultative Commission on Actuarial Science of the Secretariat of Public Education.

The Coordination of the Actuarial Science degree collaborates with the Board of Directors of the National College of Actuaries (CONAC), the highest professional representation body in Mexico.
