Thanks for sharing some info ealier.
Anyway , here is my question that boders me for months.
I got offers from Uni of Melbourne, Macquerie, Southampton, Manchester and City Uni ( Cass ) for actuarial science. So I was confused for some reasons because
City offers good exemption condition ( 9 papers according to my friend), business school ranking was quiet high , and there is placement or interns , plus I can see Singapore Actuary Organization state the name City .( planning to work in Singapore).
However the overall ranking of the Uni was not impressive.

Then I have Southampton, they have good reputation and good ranking, but ranking for business school I do not know. Exemption papers 8 only. No placement

Then, Manchester, according to another friend, this is a good business school , reputation good, but the actuarial science was very new ,it is establish at 2008. ranking superb, but I cant see its name in SAO or Malaysia Actuary Board.

So, I would like to ask. Is the exemption and placement more important, or the ranking and education quality is more important for the industry in future? So what do you think ?
