Program Requirements
The Bachelor of Actuarial Studies flexible double degree component requires completion of 96 units, of which:
A maximum of 48 units may come from completion of 1000-level courses
The 96 units must include:
72 units from completion of the following compulsory courses:
BUSN1001 Business Reporting and Analysis
ECON1101 Microeconomics 1
STAT1008 Quantitative Research Methods
STAT2013 Introductiory Mathematical Statistics for Actuarial Studies
STAT2005 Introduction to Stochastic Processes
STAT2014 Regression Modelling for Actuarial Studies
STAT2032 Financial Mathematics
STAT3032 Survival Models
STAT3057 Risk Modelling 1
STAT3058 Risk Modelling 2
STAT3037 Life Contingencies
STAT3038 Actuarial Techniques
6 units from completion of a course from the following list:
ECON1100 Economics 1 (H)
ECON1102 Macroeconomics 1
6 units from completion of a course from the following list:
ECON2102 Macroeconomics 2 (P)
ECON2016 Economics II (H)
6 units from completion of a course from the following list:
MATH1013 Mathematics and Application 1
MATH1115 Advanced Mathematics and Application 1
MATH1113 Mathematical Foundations for Actuarial Studies
6 units from the completion of courses on List 1 or List 4 of the ANU College of Business and Economics.
Students may choose to take two MATH courses instead of MATH1113. The options are MATH1013 / MATH1014 or MATH1115 / MATH1116. MATH1013 / 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 / MATH1116 is a higher level of MATH1013 / MATH1014 and is recommended for those who are considering further mathematical study. Should two MATH courses be chosen, the elective course position would need to be used for the additional MATH course.
In the requirements of the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies above it is not possible to gain full exemptions from Actuaries Institute Foundation Program requirements as the required FINM courses are not included. However, by including these FINM courses in the other flexible double degree (if the FINM courses meet the requirements of the other degree), or overloading (i.e., taking more than the standard four courses in some semesters on non-award basis which means you will need to pay full fees for the courses you are overloading) or by using the College of Business and Economics Summer School Program (if available), students may be able to complete their exemptions from the Foundation Program. To facilitate either of these options, it is recommended that students undertake FINM1001 Foundations of Finance as their elective course.
If your flexible double degree is within the College of Business and Economics (for example Commerce and Economics), the suggested study plan may show the same course twice. If this is the case, you must only do the course once and replace the other course with a University Wide Elective, CBE List 1 course or CBE List 4 course. Please note that you cannot exceed 8 out of college electives.
The minor in Business and Economics Essentials will not be listed on transcripts for students completing the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies.
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.
- Students considering including List 4 courses into their degree should contact the program convener for further information on study plans, as it is necessary to move courses in the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies to earlier semesters than that of the study plan below, in order to meet the requisites of the List 4 courses.
The Bachelor of Arts flexible double degree component requires completion of 96 units, of which:
A maximum of 36 units may come from completion of 1000-level courses
The 96 units must consist of:
48 units from the completion of one of the following majors

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.
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.

Disciplines
For further information on specific discipline you can:
- Find information here (http://cbe.anu.edu.au/students/)
Academic Advice
You 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. Should two MATH courses be chosen, one of ECON1101 or BUSN1001 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.
Please refer to the CBE Fast Track page:
https://www.cbe.anu.edu.au/fasttrack
Please note that in the Flexible double degree (Bachelor of Actuarial program with another ANU College degree) it may not be possible to gain full exemptions from IAAust Part I requirements (as you can only do 16 courses), however may meet the requirements by taking courses as non-award.
If after reading through these guidelines you are unsure about your
which courses to enrol in, you can email info.cbe@anu.edu.au
