 * Students may choose to take two MATH courses instead of MATH1113.  The options are MATH1013/1014 or MATH1115/1116.  MATH1013/1014 is recommended for students with the bare minimum of mathematical background for the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies or for those not confident in their mathematical ability.  MATH1115/1116 is a higher level of MATH1013/1014 and is recommended for those who are considering further mathematical study. 

In the standard four-year pass degree, it is not possible to gain full exemptions from IAAust Part I requirements; however, by overloading (i.e., taking more than the standard four courses in some semesters) or by using the College of Business and Economics Summer School Program (if available), students may be able to complete their exemptions from Part I. To facilitate either of these options, it is recommended that students undertake FINM1001 Foundations of Finance as their elective course.
