This double degree gives you econometric analysis skills combined with financial mathematics knowledge to make better decisions in business and government policy or as an actuary. Graduate career-ready with professional experiences available as part of your studies.

The Bachelor of Actuarial Studies / Economics program at The University of New South Wales enables students to complete a depth of study from the actuarial studies program offered by the School of Risk & Actuarial Studies and the economics program offered by the School of Economics in the UNSW Business School.
