A Book of Remembrance

Robin

Robin Michaelson

Robin Michaelson joined the Faculty of Actuarial Science and Insurance at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass) – City, University of London 20 years ago to take charge of the Actuarial Practicality module given to our 2nd year BSc students. It was always a very popular module as Robin delighted in taking the students on tours to Staple Inn, Lloyd’s of London and other important financial landmark sites in the City.  Robin was unusual in not just being an actuary, but also a blue badge guide. He was therefore brilliantly placed for giving fascinating tours to our students.

As well as giving the aforementioned module, Robin quickly established himself as our 4th emergency service by supervising final year projects and taking on personal tutees. He also gave modules to the Foundation students and students of the Maths department. All tasks he took on with great diligence. A huge number of alumni will be very sad to hear of his passing, as of course will be the teaching staff. Robin will be sorely missed.

It has been almost 10 years since I graduated from Bayes Business School, and one of my fondest memories from that time was visiting Lloyd’s of London. Robin, our lecturer and tour guide, was incredibly enthusiastic and his passion for the industry ultimately led me to pursue a career in banking. I can still …

Mr Robin Michaelson was my personal tutor. I will always remember our first meeting. Me, keen, excited and nervous in a foreign country beginning my journey in the UK, and him a well-seasoned experienced actuary and calm presence, sitting across from each other talking about his visit to Kuala Lumpur some time ago and …

Robin was my final year project supervisor in 2008-2009. He was very accommodating and extremely supportive through it all – from the time I approached him to be my potential supervisor, project proposal drafting up to viva – he patiently guided me through the process. Trip to Lloyds that he diligently organised during 2nd year …

Fond memories of the Robin’s classes and his trips. An extremely knowledgable yet most patient member of the faculty he made the  industry and a career within the profession relatable and extremely attractive. A gentleman of note, he always had plenty of time to discuss items of interest within or outside of the core …
