Easy question about Actuarial Coop (1 Viewer)

[m1tch37]

The UNSW website is a little light on details. If you do a coop degree in, say, Actuarial Studies, what else do you do?

* Do you get to pick a 2nd major? (ideal for me)
* Or do you do a minor?
* Do you get to complete general education courses and free options?

What I'm trying to say is I think a actuarial coop degree would be fabulous, but I want to get a wide education at uni.

Is a coop degree a full commerce degree just with work placement (with all the general courses), or is it a program where they rush you through every actuarial class and spit you out with a very narrow knowledge?

1) Yes, you can do a second major, most co-ops choose finance
2) See 1
3) It's a full commerce degree and you attend tutorial and classes with other people in the course. So yes. But most people do courses that contribute towards
their majors.

Be prepared to sacrifice some holidays, some ITs (industrial training) may be held then.
