Accounting + Actuarial (1 Viewer)

[YBK]

Hey!

I am doing a major in accounting in UNSW. I was wondering if it's possible to do another major in actuarial studies too.

I picked quantitative methods but the UNSW website said something about having to pick another course if you want to major in actuarial...

I picked Acct. 1A and quantitative methods.

Well the question is, can I still major in actuarial as well as accounting with the subjects i picked?

Thanks

Do you really want to end up with this double major? If so, WHY?

Or is it a contingency plan to begin with and you'll decide on either one later in your degree.

What are the "approved Mathematics courses" ?

So you are using the Accounting major to secure the cadetship and get experience?

But want to end up working based on your actuarial degree?

MATH1151 and MATH1251

thanks.

Do you think it is still possible to drop quantitative methods and pick up MATH 1151 or MATH 1251?

I have a quantative methods lecture and tutorial today... i'll go to it but i guess i'll have to miss out on the MATH 1151 as i havent enrolled in it yet...

Sorry guys.. so should I drop the quantitative methods course and pick up MATH1151 if i want to have a major in actuarial studies too?

Or do i have to keep quantitative methods if i want to major in accounting?

MATH1151 and MATH1251 will override QMA and QMB. I think you can still change. I just did.

if you love maths, do maths, not actuarial. if you want to be employed after you do your degree, do well in your degree and get some experience. forget doing something for job prospects.

i was in the same situation in year 12. was thinking of doing accounting/actuarial coz i had a cadetship in one of the big 4.

decided not to take it up and pursued actuarial instead.

dont regret it at all.
