Bachelor of Economics and Bachelor of Actuarial Studies

The Bachelor of Economics will arm you with the integrated problem-solving and data analysis skills to tackle contemporary economic challenges. You’ll develop industry-relevant capabilities from day one through work-integrated learning that prepares you for diverse job prospects, such as consultant, policy analyst, economist, loans offer or risk analyst. And by combining the degree with a second in a high-demand field such as actuarial studies, applied finance, business analytics, commerce or law – or by pursuing a second major in a complementary or entirely different area – you’ll gain a powerful mix of skills and knowledge that broadens your expertise and enhances your career prospects. As the world’s first accredited actuarial degree, the Bachelor of Actuarial Studies has a legacy of excellence, and unparalleled ties with trailblazing firms that actively seek out our graduates. We’ve produced many of the country’s most prominent and influential actuaries, each of whom continues to have a lasting impact across the sector. We’re recognised as a Centre of Actuarial Excellence by the Society of Actuaries, and by studying here, you’ll gain a strategic advantage via deep industry connections that provide pathways into this highly paid profession.
