Hi everyone,

So I’m studying actuarial maths at university and am going to start applying for internships soon. I hear a lot of advice that for internship applications in general personal projects help your CV stand out. But I’m wondering if this is only relevant for data analytics or computer science type of roles not actuarial internships.

If anyone who has previously applied to actuarial internships or recruits for them and has used/seen projects on a CV did this help them? And what specific types of projects?

Would appreciate any insights in general.

Thanks a mil!

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some new suggestions.

To give you an idea of what I'm into, I really like:

 Interstellar

 Project Hail Mary

 The Hunger Games

 The 100

 K is for Killer

 Gone Girl

Open to any suggestions you think fit these vibes. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m a girl in my early twenties living in Dublin and I’m looking to join a social, beginner-friendly run club to get a bit more active and meet some new people.

The catch is, I don’t have any friends to join with me so I’d be turning up completely solo and can hold a conversation but would be nervous to go up to people in a group. Because of that, I’m a bit wary of joining a group where everyone already has their own established cliques or friend circles locked down.

Are there any run clubs in Dublin that are genuinely welcoming to solo people and actually make it easy to mingle and chat?

Thanks a mill!

Hey everyone,

Heading into 2nd year Actuarial Maths and will soon be hunting for a Summer 2027 internship. Problem is, literally everyone I know who got one in 2nd year got it through nepotism/family connections, which I don't have. I’m open to literally any field just want to get some real office work experience.

I think my CV is decent: 600+ LC points, teaching experience for grinds company’s , and paid uni student ambassador work.

To anyone who got a 2nd-year internship purely on merit: How did you do it and where did you apply?

What other fields (outside of pure Actuarial/Data Analytics) are actually realistic/ easier to break into for a 2nd year in my degree?

Appreciate any advice in general.

Thanks a lot!
