Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Actuarial Studies
ProviderMacquarie UniversityCourse overview
The Bachelor of Science is built around a foundational core and 11 majors. The core subjects will help you develop a broad understanding of scientific theory, practice and technique, while your major allows you to specialise in your area of key interest. Across your first and second years, you’ll put your classroom learning into practice via hands-on scientific projects. Then, in your final year, you’ll collaborate with students from across the 11 majors, as well as with government, industrial, research or educational institutions to tackle real-world problems. This apprenticeship-style work will help you develop the competencies and expertise desired by employers, such as innovative problem-solving, critical thinking, effective communication and organisational skills, and creativity.
In the professionally accredited Bachelor of Actuarial Studies, you’ll learn how to apply mathematical, statistical, economic and financial analysis to a range of practical problems in long-term risk management, finance and insurance.
