OK , Actuary Science is offered @ Inti , as far as i kno , as ADP - American Degree Program .

You can choose from 2+2 or 3+1 where 3+1 only has 1 American University available for that - Oklahoma

As far as i kno , Actuarial Science is a very tough subject , i was informed that there are only 74 Acturials in Malaysia and the growing speed is very slow from time to time , making it demanding jobs in every country including USA .

Cons ? Well , this job is more focused on estimating future contingent events, such as the rates of mortality by age, as well as the development of mathematical techniques for discounting the value of funds set aside and invested.Which is , you can work maybe "only" on insurance company . But some US states of actuarial models to set criminal sentencing guidelines.

You can try taking Acturial Science on any uni , as i kno the first year is going to be your foundations . You might wanna try it 1 year and a half then only decide whether to move on bcoz , its really TOUGH .

INTI college is having a talk @ their Subang Jaya campus about Acturial and its future on 2.30 PM ~ 3.30 PM . Everyone is welcomed =)

Hey people i'm new here. Well i've just finished my spm. Just wondering if i should go for the A levels first or straight to the foundation of actuarial science. And any suggestions on what college or uni to attend?
*
You can go A levels if you want but Acturial Science minimum requirements is 5 credits in SPM . It will be a degree program , but this doesnt means you skip your foundations . 4 years will be required to study this field . The 1st year is mainly is your foundation . nod.gif
