B Commerce UNSW (1 Viewer)

[pranavn94]

Hey guys I'm in year 12 right now and I want to do B Commerce at UNSW majoring in Actuarial Studies. Problem is that I'm only doing Advanced Maths, I was wondering if anyone here is/has doing this major with only Advanced Maths. Thanks!

Pick one, because I don't know what you mean:

Actuarial Studies is a Commerce major. You can't major in Actuarial Studies in an Advanced Mathematics degree.

-or-

You will most likely die in Actuarial if you've only done Mathematics 2 unit. It's hard enough as is, and tons already drop out.

When OP says Advanced Math he means 2u maths

But yeah I did ext 2 maths and im worried I might not be able to cope with Actuarial

You'd be fine with only HSC 2U maths as long as you do a bridging course in 3U before uni starts. Then just work really hard at uni for MATH1151/1251 and you'll be fine.

There are people who got 99 in MX2 and have scraped passes in Actuarial.

Maybe they didn't study in uni.

I think some of them truly did, but Actuarial is genuinely a hard subject.

My cuz tells me Actuarial is pretty hardcore and kept telling me not to even consider it. He's in 4th year at UNSW (Commerce/Economics). He did 4U as well.

Is the drop out rate for co-op highest in acturial?
anyways, i'm sure you will do fine.

No idea, but the Co-op for finance requires students to maintain a high distinction average. For everyone else its Credit average. I dont think dropping out is common with co-op students anyway

and thanks =) good luck to you too!

The maths involved in Actuarial is not really utilizing the maths that we learn from the HSC. Instead it consists of more statistics and probability. So hence a lot of students who may have got 99 in MX2 would not do so well in actuarial.

This..., it's all about discipline. Open that textbook/calculus notes/algebra notes and grind through it.

Yeah I think i'll be doing a bridging course for sure to be on atleast par with everyone else and study incredibly hard in uni LOL.
