Master of Actuarial Practice

Accredited by the Actuaries Institute, this postgraduate course readies students to work as qualified actuaries. It develops quantitative analysis for solving business problems, with mathematics, coding, financial theory and data science. A specialisation in Data Analytics is available, and so are other discipline areas taught within the business school. The capabilities gained transfer across many industries and disciplines. Students lacking a related first degree follow a six-semester program that covers the university parts of both the Part I Foundation and the Part II Actuary qualifications. Demand for actuarial skills keeps growing as organisations seek to interpret quantitative information, so graduates enter a field where analytical ability is sought after across the economy. Together these elements give students a sound footing in the work of the profession.
