Bachelor of Actuarial Studies/Law

This degree is designed for students who are passionate about both the Law and business and are interested in learning about the connection between the two.

The Actuarial Studies component involves the application of statistical and financial analysis and risk models to management in insurance, superannuation, investment and finance. It will enable you to develop both the technical and non-technical skills required to pursue a career as an actuarial analyst or to explore opportunities in the financial services and insurance industries.

The Law degree aims to develop graduates who have excellent analytical skills, a capacity for scholarly research, effective oral and written communication skills, and a commitment to personal and professional development, ethical practice and social responsibility.

*Term 3 Intake is available to International Students only.
