How many hours is actuarial studies a week? (1 Viewer)

[shivi]

So how many is it? And how much does it increase/decrease in the later years (honours)

Thanks in advance

Assuming your doing B Commerce, 1st year is 15hrs a week (Mon-Thu)

Semester 1-
ACCT1501- Accounting 1A
ECON1101- Micro 1
MATH1151- Mathematics for Actuarial 1A
free option (go for FINS1612 if your considering Finance)

Semester 2-
ACCT1511- Accounting 1B
ACTL1001- Actuarial Studies + Commerce
ECON1102- Macro 1
MATH1251- Mathematics for Actuarial 1B

First year is the most, since you got math, which is 6 hours per week. Otherwise it should be fairly standard commerce hours, which is about 3 hours per subject per week.

I think the number of days at uni will be more informative:
first years -> 4 days usually
second year -> 3 to 4 days... although 3 days will get you late ones.
third year -> ditto
honours -> some evening (between 5pm to 9 pm classes)

Affinity, what r u o/l next yr? ;-)

btw, the PDEs and Stats of Dependent Data course clash. They are going to change the times rite?

 

[Affinity]

Hmm not sure...
I am thinking of graph theory, stochastic analysis, inference and something..

 

[§eraphim]

I'm also thinking of doing Intro to Discrete Time Fin Modelling. Is it any good?

Is that a post-grad subject? Are you allowed to take it? What are the pre-requisites?

 

[§eraphim]

Yeah, all those mentioned above - Graph Theory, Stochastic Analysis & DFM - are postgrad.

Yes, with permission frm the lecturer-in-charge. They usually want to look at your marks first.

No, but there is assumed knowledge - ask the lecturer for more info.

 

[MAICHI]

What sort of marks would you need to be allowed to take them? 85+ average for math?

 

[§eraphim]

Yes, I would assume so. More likely in those subjects which are assumed knowledge.

Btw, Affinity, r they going to offer SDEs any more? I'd like to do that and Stochastic Analysis
