This program commences in July/August each year at National University of Singapore. Applications for admission should be finalised by the following dates:

• Domestic Students: January (apply through UAC),
• International Students: March 15 (apply directly to ANU)

The first three semesters are undertaken at the National University of Singapore (in Singapore).  As you don't start at ANU you don't need to register with the ANU University Accommodation Services.

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.

Learning Outcomes

• To develop a grounding in financial mathematics and applications, including the time value of money, annuities, bond and loan calculations
• To develop the ability to interpret the accounts and financial statements of companies and financial institutions.
• To develop a grounding in mathematical statistics and regression modeling
• To develop a grounding in stochastic processes, survival models and their application in actuarial contexts
• To develop a grounding in the mathematical techniques used to model and value cashflows dependent on death, survival, illness, retirement, and other contingencies.
• To develop a grounding in the advanced mathematics which has particular relevance to financial work, including risk theory, bayesian statistics, generalized linear modeling, and time series techniques.
• To develop a grounding in the fundamental concepts of micro and macroeconomics.  

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.
