Actuary dual degree question (1 Viewer)

Hi, just a question about actuarial studies.

What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing a bachelor of actuarial studies combined with:
- Commerce
- Advanced Science (Maths)

Just want advantages between those two dual degrees, this is for UNSW btw. Thanks in advance for any input!

i dont get it


disadvantages and advantages are personal things - we need to know more about you before we can say stuff about it

like we don't even know what commerce major you're going for and that really hinges on a lot of things, and same with maths major

I should've rephrased the question and said - which one helps with the actuarial bachelor more (in terms of making it easier/common content).

maths


in actuarial, they brush over some of the actual maths - in maths, you learn the foundations

Do you know what a commerce degree is about, if you know anyone that does it?

yes, i used to do commerce


it's heavily dependent on your major - it can be marketing to finance

In terms of making the content in actuarial easier, maths would definitely be the way to go. The maths in commerce isn't heavy at all. There's probably more to consider than just which degree makes actuarial content easier though, so keep that in mind when choosing.
