There is a level of financial risk behind every decision a business makes. Actuaries are essential for helping to navigate these risks and making the right decisions. They are the analytical thinkers who see the opportunities within data, numbers and patterns - and transform them into more positive business outcomes.
This combined bachelor's and master’s program offers you a faster, more streamlined pathway towards a rewarding career as an Actuary.
The 4-year program begins with the Bachelor of Actuarial Science. Learn how to evaluate risks, forecast futures and influence economic structures. Apply mathematical and statistical concepts to real-world scenarios, then choose from one of two specialisations - Actuarial Studies or Actuarial Analytics - to start fine-tuning the skills that will open doors for your career.
As you reach the end of the 3-year bachelor’s program, you have the unique opportunity to study postgraduate electives that can form the start of your master's degree.
The master's program advances the skills you have developed during your first three years of study. You can choose to tailor your studies from a range of electives including econometrics, statistics, business modelling and finance, while fast-tracking your studies by completing the program in just one year.
You need professional certification from the Actuaries Institute to work as an Actuary. By completing units as part of this combined program, you will be fast-tracking your certification - gaining exemptions from some of the Institute’s Programs.
This means less time studying and more time growing your career. Actuaries apply their analytic skillset to any field that needs to manage financial risk, and this can include working in areas such as finance, insurance, superannuation and government. Today, actuaries are even helping to address global challenges like climate change and cybersecurity.
