Melbourne Business School's Master of Actuarial Science (Extended) provides a graduate pathway to prepare you for the actuarial profession and enables you to gain Part I (Foundation) accreditation exemption. Graduates of this degree will be analytical in the application of actuarial theory, knowledge, principles, techniques and data. You will be problem solvers capable of explaining, applying and critically evaluating the use of actuarial models, particularly in relation to insurance and superannuation. The two-year Master of Actuarial Science (Extended) is designed to provide non-actuarial graduates with their initial education in actuarial studies. If you do not have a background in probability and statistics, an additional semester at the beginning of the program will allow you to take the relevant subjects. It's suitable for graduates who have mathematical or statistical specialisations (e.g. mathematics, physics or engineering).
