Overview

Bachelor of Science (Actuarial Science)

Actuaries analyse various data to predict and assess the long-term risks involved in financial planning and decisions. 

They also apply their expertise to other areas – such as assessing the timing and location of extreme weather events to help predict risks and associated costs for investments or insurance.

In this course, you will gain the knowledge and skills in mathematics, statistics, data analytics, demographics, finance and economics to work as a financial analyst in organisations that deal with risks such as: 

Banks and financial institutions, insurance companies and government agencies

You'll learn the mathematical and statistical techniques to model industrial and commercial processes against a financial and economic background. 

You’ll also learn to identify the risk factors and determine the price and cost of those risks.

In your third year, your studies will focus on actuarial science or applied statistics.
