COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Actuarial Studies double degree combines broad scientific training with specialised quantitative and financial modelling expertise, preparing graduates for careers in science, analytics, and risk-focused industries. The Bachelor of Science offers a flexible and interdisciplinary structure, allowing students to major in areas such as Chemistry, Marine Science, Applied Physics, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biotechnology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Statistical Data Science, Biology, Mathematics, or Human Biology. This breadth enables students to build strong foundations in scientific methods, experimentation, data analysis, and problem-solving across diverse fields. The program develops technical competence alongside critical thinking and research skills, supporting applications in both academic and industry settings. Complementing this, the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies is a highly specialised program focused on mathematics, statistics, and financial risk analysis. Students develop advanced capabilities in modelling uncertainty, analysing financial systems, and assessing risk in insurance, superannuation, and broader financial markets. The degree is designed to meet professional accreditation standards and is closely aligned with industry expectations, providing strong pathways into actuarial and finance-related careers. Together, the double degree integrates scientific understanding with quantitative decision-making skills, enabling graduates to interpret complex data, evaluate risk, and apply analytical thinking across sectors such as environmental science, healthcare, technology, insurance, and financial services.
