The Actuarial Mathematics Department is part of
the School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences (MACS). Because these are core
subjects for so many courses offered at Heriot-Watt, MACS has always been a
flagship school of the university. It has top research and excellent teaching gradings and has become a lively international centre for leading-edge
developments and exciting new courses.
