Don't you basically choose from the same majors in both options? Apart from the differing lengths what are the differences between the two?

Thanks

No. When Bachelor of Actuarial Studies came out, the option to do a major in Actuarial Studies WITHIN B Commerce was disallowed.

So basically the difference is, B Comm / B Actl is TWO degrees, and B Actl is one degree.

So there is no difference apart from the different lengths ? (3yrs and 4yrs)

is there any benefit to doing the dual degree as opposed to the single?

Up to you...if there are more exotic majors you want to do in BComm then it may be a good option. Most people like to do 2 degrees now because 1 degree is too mainstream (not even joking)

In the 3 year degree most people do a double major. In the 4 year degree you can do a triple major. There aren't really that many majors that compliment ACTL other than finance and maybe economics, so if you want a double maybe try it with economics or science
