Summary

Actuaries are sought-after across the world to provide future-focused solutions to complex financial issues. Experts at measuring and managing risk, they provide value to a wide range of organisations including investment firms, insurance companies, government agencies and consultancies, as well as to the banking and health industries.

In the Society of Actuaries (SOA) specialisation, you’ll learn how to value financial products, evaluate insurance and other financial risks, solve problems using modern statistical techniques and analyse advanced problems related to long-term or short-term coverage. Macquarie is one of only four accredited US Society of Actuaries Centers of Actuarial Excellence in Australia. This specialisation, therefore, provides a pathway to international professional recognition and opportunities for career development in Asia, the USA and other international destinations.
