I am fairly certain that having a mathematics degree alone does not offer you any exemptions from the Institute of Actuaries (UK), however, if your degree helps you to learn the elementary micro and macro economic theory, then you may get exemption from one of the 100 Series exam, depending upon your success in economics modules. Usually, as I am confident that I have said it before, you are expected to get around 65% marks, in order to apply for any exemption from the Institute of Actuaries.
So, synthesising the above, certainly you will not get any exemption if your degree does not involve elementary microeconomics AND macroeconomics topics AND you need to pass those modules by over 65% marks as well, if your degree does involve courses in above.
For further information or clarification, please donât hesitate to post a query.
