Hey guys,
I am having some problems with the course Actuarial Studies.
Actually i am in yr 10 and aiming to do that course at Uni. However, my subject selection are:
_ Maths Ext 1 (will be 2)
_ ESL
I am really afraid that ESL is not enough for me to do Actuarial Studies. Please give me some advices :cold:

The absolute minimum for actuarial studies is extension 1 maths, so don't drop down to 2U
and even with that, you should even aim for the top band, as the mathematics within actuarial studies are one of the most difficult available to universities...
And it's most recommended that you take 4U...

that course will be a trek; difficult and i heard that a very few people actually graduate.

But as for ESL, no problem as of now..

I'm also aiming for Actuarial Studies. Hi-5
Same here
Hi-5 to you as well =D
what uni are you intending to do actuarial studies?

What about you?
I'm probably intending to go to UNSW to do actuarial, since I can also do double degree -> B commerce in Actuarial studies/B Science (Advanced Mathematics, with a major in political science or international relations as well) :p

the cut off is lower and i can still make it with bonus points xD

What can a science degree do? I'm really behind in this stuff.

I'm aiming for B Engineering/ B Commerce. Lol. I still can't believe there is such a combined degree, I was stuck on choosing engineering and something with money.

USyd, last year's cut off was 99.15.
USyd don't, and never have offered actuarial studies.

In response to the OP, I am a 2nd year actuarial/science student and I believe that doing ESL is adequate to undertake the program at either MQ or UNSW. There are a lot of international studies whose first language is not english and they seem to cope fine.
