Bachelor of Actuarial Science (3 Year Program)

About

Designed for international students, the Bachelor of Actuarial Science (3 Year Program) is completed in a two-semester-per year capacity, meaning you will only study during the January and September semesters of each year. If you are a domestic student, please see Bachelor of Actuarial Science.

The diverse skillset acquired in this program will equip you with the tools to analyse and manage risks of all types and develop techniques for the effective use of quantitative information to influence and improve business decision making.

Accredited by the Actuaries Institute, Bond’s Bachelor of Actuarial Science will not only prepare you for a job that is in high demand, but also develop a knowledge base drawing from the core fields of mathematics, probability, programming, finance, economics, and data science that can be transferred across numerous industries and disciplines.

As a Bond Business School student, you will have exclusive access to facilities including the Bond FinTech Hub which enables you the opportunity to gain a Bloomberg certification, while you can extend your data analytics knowledge with access to the advanced computing environment of the Centre for Data Analytics and its experts in this field.

The program structure allows attainment of exemptions for all components of Part I (Foundation Program) accreditation with the Actuaries Institute.
