The UTAR person jz called me this morning, asking me whether I'm going, and ask me to bank in the money before 30th of may. Hahaha, i think UTAR's out for me, too high expenses, anyway, i can still be an actuary rite? as long as i have a degree, then i can proceed to take the professional paper. I heard so. IS this true?

UTAR expenses too high then where expenses is low?

UTAR degree is basically useless only the external paper can help you to become a register practising actuary

I would like to have a more specific understanding ab sitting for professional papers. If i'm not holding actuarial science degree, i heard I can sit rite? but then, is it any degree would do? an art degree also can? tell me guys.......

not sure if a degree is even required but any degree should do the job....preferably 1 which is related since you would not want to study the whole thing again right?

it is?
as far as i know, NUS would not be the one providing the actuarial course but ANU will. NUS does not have a degree on actuarial science but have a joint program with ANU.
i obtained the info last year, so it might be irrelevant now.
for those interested plz do check it up with them 1st
*
That means the joint program with ANU is recognised that's all

the only place that provides cheap acturial science course is UTAR Dangers is that its a very new uni but then if u plan to work in malaysia as an actuaries its kinda a OK..

but for acturial science. many of my friends told me that most of the suicide cases in malaysia involving successfull people are actuarist, One of my friends dad was an actuarist and when he did a mistake in calculation he jumped off a 22 story building.

this is what i heard la not generalizing. maybe the course is tought because in the real world its gonna be tougher.~?
