48 units from completion of elective courses offered by ANU

\

Students may choose to take two MATH courses instead of [MATH1113](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1113). The options are [MATH1013](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1013) / [MATH1014](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1014) or [MATH1115](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1115) / [MATH1116](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1116). [MATH1013](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1013) / [MATH1014](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1014) 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](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1115) / [MATH1116](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1116) is a higher level of [MATH1013](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1013) / [MATH1014](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1014) and is recommended for those who are considering further mathematical study (for some later year MATH courses [MATH1116](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/MATH1116) is required). Should two MATH courses be chosen, one of [ECON1101](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/ECON1101), [BUSN1001](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/BUSN1001) or [STAT1008](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/STAT1008) would need to move to the “Elective Course” position in the second semester of Year 1 above to make room for a MATH course in the first semester of Year 1.

\

The minor in Business and Economics Essentials will not be listed on transcripts for students completing the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies.

\

The below study plan includes all courses equivalent to the Actuaries Institute Foundation Program requirements, subject to continuing accreditation with the Institute.

\

The courses on List 4 are equivalent to the university-offered courses under the Actuaries Institute Actuary Program, noting the following:

- The courses can only be enrolled in by students taking a flexible double degree combining a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies and another degree that contains sufficient overlap in courses to free up sufficient elective space.
- Examples of flexible double degrees where these courses can be fit into the degree are the Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Finance and Bachelor of Statistics (this list is not exhaustive).
- These courses have strict academic entry requirements. Further information on entry requirements into these courses can be found on the links to the course pages linked from the List 4 webpage.

## Honours

Students may proceed to an additional [honours](http://www.cbe.anu.edu.au/students/study-with-cbe/honours/?tL1=program-structure#Tabs) year in Actuarial Studies. Entry to the [honours](http://www.cbe.anu.edu.au/students/study-with-cbe/honours/?tL1=program-structure#Tabs) year program is subject to an appropriately high average grade (generally distinction level or above) in the 3000-level compulsory subjects described in the course listings and requires the approval of College. Other conditions may also apply. Students who are interested in the [honours program](http://www.cbe.anu.edu.au/students/study-with-cbe/honours/?tL1=program-structure#Tabs) should seek further advice from the Convenor of the Actuarial Program in the Research School of Finance, Actuarial Studies and Applied Statistics

Students undertaking [honours](http://www.cbe.anu.edu.au/students/study-with-cbe/honours/?tL1=program-structure#Tabs) will be able to meet the Actuaries Institute Part II requirements

## Minors

## About this degree

**Single degree\**In a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies single degree program you will study a total of 24 courses (144 units).  Typically you will take 4 courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 24 courses across
your whole degree. You will need
to complete a minimum of 16 CBE courses (96 units) but will also get to
choose 8 courses (48 units) from other ANU Colleges.  You can try a
range of courses or take a major or minor in a non-CBE subject, the choice is yours.

**Double degree\**In a Bachelor of Actuarial Studies double degree
program you will study a total of 96 units.  Typically you will take 4
courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 16 courses
across
your whole degree.  However, for each semester you are likely to take 2
courses from your Actuarial Studies degree and then 2 courses from the other half
of you degree - still a total of 4 courses a semester. \

\
\
\
\

## Enrolment Status

It is
possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester but it will take you longer to
finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international
student you **must** always be enrolled full-time in 24 units each semester.

## Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

When you enrol for the first time you will study ‘1000-level’
courses. These courses have ‘1’ as the first number in their course
code, such as [BUSN1001](https://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/2020/course/BUSN1001).\
\
Please also note that:\

- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.

- In your first year, you cannot study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year.

- You
  may take 1000-level courses later in your program.   But remember you
  can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) in total towards
  your single degree.

- You can change your enrolment via ISIS in courses up until the Monday of Week 2.

## Electives

You can use your electives to enrol in any courses that you like, provided you meet prerequisite requirements.\
\
Remember that you can choose up to 8 courses from another ANU College if you are undertaking the **single**Bachelor of Actuarial Studies degree. \
\
If you are in a double degree, your electives must be CBE courses.\
\
Don't forget the maximum number of 1000 level courses is 10
in single degree.

## Academic Advice

You may choose to take two MATH courses instead of [MATH1113](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1113;details.html).  The options are [MATH1013](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1013;details.html)/[1014](http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/course/MATH1014) or [MATH1115](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1115;details.html)/[1116](http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/course/MATH1116).  [MATH1013](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1013;details.html)/[1014](http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/course/MATH1014)
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](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1115;details.html)/[1116](http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/course/MATH1116) is a higher level of [MATH1013](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/MATH1013;details.html)/[1014](http://programsandcourses.anu.edu.au/course/MATH1014) and is recommended for those who are considering further mathematical study.  Should two MATH courses be chosen, one of [ECON1101](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/ECON1101;details.html) or [BUSN1001](https://studyat.anu.edu.au/2013/courses/BUSN1001;details.html) would need to move to the “Elective Course” position in the second
semester of Year 1 above to make room for a MATH course in the first
semester of Year 1.\
