On Thursday 20th June, 18 of our students were conferred with their BSc Risk and Actuarial Science Degree. The class of 2019 is the second group of students to have graduated from the programme since it commenced in 2014. The students and their families attended the morning graduation ceremony followed by a reception in the Western Gateway Building, attended by Professor Sarah Culloty, Head of College of SEFS, Professor Finbarr O'Sullivan, Head of School of Mathematical Sciences, along with academic colleagues and friends.

Many of the students are pursuing additional postgraduate studies, with some having secured graduate positions both in Ireland and the UK.

This week a number of our students were involved in the first ever "Free Maths Grinds Program" which ran over 200 tailored sessions to individual students/small groups. Students from accross the County took up the opportunity to avail of these sessions in advance of the State Exams taking place on June 7th and 10th. Students were guided through exam techniques and making use of their remaining time before exams. The volunteers also concentrated on key themes of the exam papers such as:

1. Algebra
2. Numbers
3. Functions
4. Probability and Statistics 
5. Trigonometry and Geometry
