University of Warwick is a good school and is ranked in Top 10 UK undergraduate studies. I know a couple of people who graduated from this course from warwick last year and both didn't find any difficulty in getting graduate contracts. (One of them needed work permit too).

I know people from this programme in past have gone to all sort of career paths but majority of them sticked with professional services, i.e. ACA or FIA/FFA.

However, since Warwick University is based near Birmingham and most of the finance jobs are located in London, so you may find it bit convenient if you go to a school in London. The only exception to this rule is Oxbridge, ofcourse.

Feel free to post more queries.

To the best of my knowledge, Karachi University has started recently a bachelors programme in the Actuarial Science. But this programme has not yet manage to gain reputation/affiliation with any professional institute/body that offers actuarial qualification, hence, no exemption/credit to this BSc. graduates. To get more info. about this programme log a research on this forum and you will find account on this.

Again, lots of discussion has been done in past on the scope of actuaries.
