The SOA Professional Talk, organized by the BSc (Hons) in Actuarial Studies and Insurance (BSc-AIN) Programme, was successfully held on 5 November 2026. We were honoured to welcome Dr. YUNG Wai Ling, Head of Asia Engagement at the Society of Actuaries (SOA), who provided students with an insightful introduction to the actuarial profession, the SOA qualification pathway, and the diverse career opportunities available to aspiring actuaries. We were also privileged to have Ms. ZOU Maria, FSA, FCIA, MFin, Vice President, Life & Health Enterprise Risk Management, Peak Reinsurance, share her personal journey towards attaining Fellowship status and building a successful actuarial career. Through her inspiring sharing, students gained valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of professional development in the actuarial field, as well as practical advice on career planning and examination preparation. As a special highlight of the event, a lucky draw was conducted, with three students receiving waivers of the registration fee for one SOA examination, generously sponsored by the SOA.

The BSc-AIN Programme would like to express its sincere gratitude to the SOA and the guest speakers for their support and valuable sharing. We also thank all participating students for their enthusiastic engagement and look forward to organizing more professional development activities in the future.
