Okay. let me clear this up.

UNSW - Bachelor of Commerce ( Actuarial major)
* ATAR requirement high ( 90+)
*I would recommend this ahead of everything else if you want to work as an actuary easily in Australia.
ANU- Bachelor of Actuarial Studies Or *  Bachelor of Statistics ( different degree but will still get exemption if u specialise actuarial statistics and use ur Elective on those Part I required Units, only consider this if you wanna be an actuary but fail to enrol in the Actuarial degree..yada yada)
* Selective enrolment ( not for BStats)
* Good for Research (Hons)


UMelb - Bachelor of Commerce ( Actuarial major)
* ATAR requirement high
*

Curtin - Bachelor of Science ( Actuarial Science) - Only Part I exmpted, part II exemption go somewhere else @@
*ATAR 92, need year 12 Addmath(i guess)

Monash Uni - newly establish, 2010 under provisional accreditation, can do it through Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Economics( major Econometrics under Actuarial Statistics stream)
*Monash currently have 4 CT papers exempted, another 4 under provisional state through IA Aus
* Comparatively not so high entry requirement, cause it's managed under commerce and economics, following their entry requirement
* Advantage of being new, very updated sylabus with IA requirements (according to Prof. Forbes)
*** Can be done partly in Malaysia. Ask, and I will elaborate.
MacQ - The earliest Actuarial School in Aus.
*Highly academic.
*the Best place to do your Master in Actuarial Studies while working in Sydney.

In deciding not only Which you can enter, and which You want to enter. You may also want to consider the Exemption  requirements for CT papers.
ANU & MacQ : 60+ average for CT units
Melb Uni : 75+
Curtin: HD
Monash and UNSW : 70+

*dont ask me why Melb's is higher than Monahs and UNSW, I dont know why. LoL
Feel free if you need help deciding or analysing.

Hi Ryuka, I have read the entire thread and find out that we could study AS in Monash Sunway (partly perhaps?) smile.gif Mind if you could elaborate it? For my case, I had completed my foundation in business in Taylor's and I met the requirement to enter the business degree in Monash Sunway. I asked the staff in Monash Sunway but they didn't come up with a useful response. haiz.
1. May I know what should I do in order to save my budget? As I have some financial constraints and could not complete the three years degree in Clayton and hopefully I could complete as many credit as I could in Monash Sunway. I hope I can complete at least 2 years in Monash Sunway (if possible) and then only transfer to Aus during my 3rd year.
2. I would also like to know that is there any scholarship/loan for us? or while we are pursuing our degree?
3. How much is the cost of living and the tuition fee?
4. Apart from that, may I know that am I able to transfer to other University in Aus during my second or if possible, 3rd year? Such as ANU, UNSW, MacQ etc?

I would really appreciate if you can clear my doubt as it will affect my decision.

Thanks in advance smile.gif
