SPUC-AFINM v.1 Actuarial Financial Mathematics Specialisation

Specialisations/Minors prepare students to develop broad knowledge about an additional discipline area or same discipline area that complements their study in an award course. Some Specialisations may assist students to progress into postgraduate studies, but have specific entry requirements.

This Specialisation develops the student's understanding of the fundamental concepts of financial mathematics and financial economics, and how these concepts are applied in solving cashflow problems, whether certain or uncertain. Due to the high quantitative nature of this specialisation, it is recommended that only students with a minimum ATAR of 92 select this. Furthermore, the core mathematics units are designed for those students who have passed WACE Mathematical Applications or Mathematical Methods or equivalent. Ideally, however, students should have passed Mathematics Specialist ATAR or equivalent, with a mark of 70% or greater.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.

* Students will have to independently do FNCE2000 before MATH2004 or STAT3006.
