Looking to increase your career opportunities and be
competitive in the job market? This dual degree allows
you to study up to two Commerce majors in addition
to acquiring specialist knowledge in actuarial studies.
You’ll have the flexibility to design a study program that
broadens your business knowledge and professional
competencies to succeed in your chosen field.
Actuaries analyse and quantify financial risks, while
economists analyse and quantify the economic
decisions made by individuals, businesses and
the government. If you’re looking at obtaining two
professional degrees that develop expertise in these
fields, this dual degree will appeal to you. You’ll
also have the option of adding a third business
area to your study program.
