COURSE CURRICULUM

The Actuarial Mathematics (BSc) program at the University of Manitoba offers a robust selection of courses that build the technical and analytical foundation necessary for a career in actuarial science. Key actuarial courses include ACT 3130: Actuarial Models 1 and ACT 3230: Actuarial Models 2, which introduce and deepen students' understanding of probabilistic models used to assess risk and predict uncertain events. ACT 3340: Financial Derivatives for Actuarial Practice explores the valuation and application of financial instruments, while ACT 4010: Regression Modelling in Actuarial Science focuses on advanced statistical methods for data analysis. ACT 4060: Actuarial Aspects of Investment Practice integrates investment principles with actuarial applications, preparing students for real-world financial decision-making. Supporting this core are essential mathematical and statistical courses, such as MATH 2720: Multivariable Calculus, which develops advanced calculus skills necessary for modeling, and STAT 1150 and STAT 2150, which introduce and expand knowledge in statistics and computing. Together, these courses provide a comprehensive framework that supports success in actuarial exams and prepares students for roles in insurance, pensions, finance, and consulting. The curriculum blends theoretical rigor with applied learning, ensuring graduates are well-equipped to analyze complex data and make informed risk management decisions.
