COURSE DESCRIPTION
The demand for actuarial skills in evaluating risk, creating innovative business solutions as well as analysing complex data is continually on the rise, with organisations increasingly aware of the benefits to be gained from interpreting and understanding quantitative information of all kinds. If you enjoy mathematics and want to develop high-level quantitative analysis skills to solve problems in a business context, then step into a career as a qualified Actuary.
Accredited by the Actuaries Institute, Bond’s Master of Actuarial Practice will not only prepare you for a job that is in high demand, but also develop a diverse skill set in mathematics, programming, finance, and data science that can be transferred across numerous industries and disciplines.
An innovative and immersive program, you can specialise in Data Analytics or take the opportunity to specialise in any of the large range of Bond Business School discipline areas.
Accredited by the Actuaries Institute, the Master of Actuarial Practice is an innovative and immersive program that combines advanced mathematics, statistics, data analytics, actuarial risk theory, finance, economics and accounting with large-scale, real-life commercial data analysis to develop techniques for the management of risk and business decision making. An integral part of this degree is the development of research skills and actuarial judgement through the Actuarial Control Cycle subjects and the Actuarial Research Thesis subject.
The Master of Actuarial Practice will deliver smaller classes for personalised attention and unparalleled access to Bond University’s Bond Fin Tech Hub and Bloomberg data-sourcing terminals. The program will develop skills in the challenge of handling ‘big data’ to create practical solutions for real-world problems.
Where will your degree take you?
As organisations continue to realise the benefits gained from detailed understanding of their quantitative risk profiles and other information theoretic business components, the demand for actuarially trained individuals has continued to increase broadly across all sectors.
Bond actuarial graduates are very well placed in the job market with skills highly transferrable between countries.
