Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Actuarial Science

In this double degree you will learn to apply your thinking in a commercial capacity and develop the skills required to solve complex problems, while developing a depth of expertise in actuarial science. This gives you a unique skill set. For example, actuarial science provides the foundational understanding of finance and economics, but combined with majors in economics or finance you will have substantive knowledge across all three. Actuarial science will prepare you for a career as an actuary. To provide professional actuarial advice in Australia, and in most other developed countries, you must become a fellow of the local actuarial profession. This involves developing basic technical skills, learning how to apply these skills in a general setting, developing deep specialist knowledge and completing a professional course following two years' relevant work experience.[097258E]
