If you love numbers and think you have what it takes to be an actuary then we have an offer for you! Old Mutual offers Actuarial Science bursaries to study at the University of Cape Town or Stellenbosch University.
Take a minute and ask yourself a few questions:
- Are you dedicated and self-driven?
