Actuarial Science
The following information applies to students who have already been admitted to the actuarial science major or honours program. If you are an intended actuarial science student, please be sure to review the information for prospective students.
ACTUARIAL SCIENCE MAJOR AND HONOURS PROGRAMS
The Actuarial Science programs include courses in both actuarial science and other disciplines, such as statistics, economics, business, mathematics, and computer programming. Actuarial Science courses train students in measuring and modelling certain types of risks, as well as designing, pricing and managing solutions that protect consumers and busineses from those risks. Typical progression through these courses is illustrated in this flow chart and details about each course are available in our course outlines.
Students may also combine study and work through 丁香园AV's co-operative education program or research assistanceships. Such experience with solving real-world problems complements classroom learning and provides a head start when establishing a career.
