ACTURSTD04 Actuarial studies

This specialisation prepares you for an actuarial career. To give actuarial advice in most developed countries, you must become a Fellow of the actuarial profession. This requires gaining technical skills, general application skills, specialist knowledge, and years of work experience. The course enables completion of the Foundation Program under the Actuaries Institute Accreditation Agreement, including actuarial statistics, risk modelling and survival analysis, actuarial mathematics, financial engineering and loss reserving, business finance, and business economics. Upon completion of the course, you will have the opportunity to pursue a career in various international finance and business fields that specialise in life, general or health insurance, superannuation, risk management, and financial consulting. Actuaries and actuarial graduates also work on investment operations for asset managers, brokers, and banks. Moreover, there are government-related jobs in regulatory control, workers’ compensation, and education. Other career opportunities include working with large companies on risk management and long-term strategic planning.
