This is a four-year honours-level program in actuarial studies and economics offered in conjunction with the National University of Singapore. The program comprises the equivalent of 192 units of study of which half is undertaken on campus at ANU, and half is undertaken on campus at NUS in Singapore. This is a highly specialised program of study and specific enrolment requirements are subject to approval by the program co-ordinator.

Admission is competitive and based on academic merit. Entry may be via ANU or NUS. Selection of ANU students will be conducted by ANU prior to the commencement of the program and will be based on approved final senior secondary school results. NUS students will typically be selected after two semesters of study at NUS. Such students must ensure that they undertake the modules essential to it in the first two semesters. Selection is competitive and will be based on a CAP of at least 4.0 over the two semesters plus excellence of performance in EC2151, EC2152, EC3231 and MA1101R.

Domestic students must apply for the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours in Actuarial Studies and Economics) commencing in Semester 1. International Students must apply for the degree no later than March 15 each year, and must have accepted their offer and satisfied all conditions by April 1. Once applications have been finalised, the prorgam then commences in Second Semester. The first three semesters are undertaken at the National University of Singapore in Singapore.

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.
