Actuarial Science is the quantitative study of risk, particularly financial risk, and the methods for managing it. It is traditionally associated with insurance and pension plans, but can be applied to a wide range of other areas where there is need for assessment of risk.
An Actuarial Science degree provides students with the background for a career in Actuarial Science. Course offerings provide the knowledge and techniques needed by students to prepare to write the Society of Actuaries examinations. Students will learn the relevant mathematical and statistical techniques, with specific applications to Actuarial Science, and acquire a basic understanding of Economics and Business.
Students who wish to study Actuarial Science in conjunction with another subject may wish to pursue a Combined Honours degree program. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science, or the College of Sustainability. Actuarial Science may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of honours credits), or the secondary subject.
