Well, even though it's not called BSc Actuarial Science, it has enough to allow full exemption to the initial stages of the Actuarial exams, making it both legitimate and competent, and fully certified.

The part about non-core subjects, well, as long as they don't interfere with the Actuarial subjects they should be fine.

Does anyone know:

ANU Actuarial Studies is combined with Bachelor of Science? I'm sorry I haven't looked at their stuff in a while - internet's not very good atm either - so I didn't really get it. As far as I know it's a 4 year Bachelors degree but it has Science? Is it a maximum of 4 years or is it 5 years with Hons?

The other Actuarial Science degrees i.e. Melbourne, UNSW, Macquarie etc, are they 3 or 4 or 5 years?

Ahh I see. Sorry but with crap Internet, it was really confusing. I couldn't find anything on the straight Actuarial degree if it exists. Their websites are not terribly helpful unfortunately.

It appears it is "Commerce" everywhere. LOL

Do you know if people can apply with trial results?

Dear RyukA,

Say, hypothetically, one has completed one's Bachelor's Degree with/having obtained all the CT exemptions.

If one wants to proceed with an actuarial career, what is next? Is a Master's the best preparation for the CA and perhaps ST and SA exams (or equivalent)? Or does one proceed to find employment as a trainee?

What kind of study support is needed to do the further exams (past CT stage)? Is this available in Malaysia at all?

Thanks.

Ah I see, thanks, that is very informative.

Studying and working at the same time has got to be The hardest thing to do.

Ryuka, can you please explain:

According to the website (the first link you provided),

Master of Actuarial Studies
The program is designed for:
Students with an actuarial degree who seek to complete courses which are complementary to the Institute of Actuaries of Australia Part III requirements.

Does this mean that the Masters degree serves to allow a student to complete the Part II requirements and learn the material/knowledge required to fulfill the Part III requirements?

For Australia, it is hard to come up with explicit guides/references for A Level subject requirements for each of the 5 main schools that teach fully accredited Act Sci in whatever form (ANU, Melbourne, Macquarie, UNSW, Curtin), because many don't publish this information. Apparently Monash was provisional in 2011 and I don't know about its current or future status.

Did you even look up the requirements for them before asking here? It's the least you could do if you wanted to study abroad. If you have, then I don't blame you because the vast majority of universities have poorly designed websites for future students, but if you haven't, your not doing yourself any favours.

It is a fact that you are eligible for undergraduate Act Sci at some of these universities, if not all, without Further Maths. However you need to check whether any of them require 4 subjects. ANU, for example, previously required 4 subjects but has changed it for 2012 entry (for 3 subjects it is an AAA minimum, no mention of any 4 subject requirement).

Yes, go search the websites. We have already listed everywhere you can study Act Sci.
