About this programme
This specialist program provides graduates with the required competencies to pursue the role of an actuarial analyst in the financial services, insurance or superannuation industry. The program covers the professional actuarial subjects (Part I: CT1-8) recognised by the Actuaries Institute in Australia. Graduates with a bachelor degree in actuarial studies should be able to fast-track their professional accreditation to obtain Part II as well as Part III (ST9 Enterprise Risk Management) exemptions. Note: Graduates without a bachelor degree in actuarial studies should consider the Master of Actuarial Studies (Extension) to potentially gain Part I and Part II exemptions of the Actuaries Institute's professional examinations. Engineering graduates with a strong background in mathematics/statistics may be considered for this program.
