Please Give Some Enlightenment On Actuarial Science by dreyposh: 5:52pm On Jul 26, 2017 |
I'm aspiring a career path in Actuary and will like to ask one/two questions on the subject, processing Unilag and looking @ going for Actuary, really want to know more about the career from your experience and what subject is really core as an undergraduate student. I know it has to do with Mathematics, does this mean advanced mathematics is involved? Or in as much one is good with the basic mathematical calculations is good to go. Thanks |

advance maths is really involved that's why further maths is among the requirement.. its under the department of business admin in unilag which people feel it's odd cus of the gross calculations involved in it.. just be sure you enjoy or will enjoy or learn too enjoy calculations but it's just gaining ground in nigeria as a whole. thanks |

yp, mathematics is highly needed in actuarial science, in fact is more or less mathematics, because of it modules needed to calculate and evaluate of financial risks, it just like economics, but more of Economics, math, govt, computer science and statistics.. if am I may ask, are you any aspirant, if yes what school? |

hhmmmm. I thought as much.. what your aggregate point?? |
Re: Please Give Some Enlightenment On Actuarial Science by dreyposh: 10:34pm On Jul 31, 2017 |
NosaH: 61.8% I actually choose Psychology but based on last year's cutoff am not up to the point needed. That's why am considering other courses |

dreyposh:OKs, have u checked last cut off point for actuarial science you're aspiring for?, have you also try to understand what "being actuary" entails, it's math inclined, the psychology, was actually a very good course, wit more of critical thinking and all that, but actuarial science is mathematical inclined,and have you also evaluate the possible risks of being admitted, what I meant by that is "have you checked, if you get in through merit list with your catchment and all that??" |

NosaH: Yea Yea, I meet d cut-off for actuary science, but am not actually d best student in mathematics, am more of an analytical person, best inclined to social sciences. That's why I went for Psychology earlier, but based on last year's cutoff, all other social science courses has cutoffs higher than 61.8%. Based on my points & qualification, I seem to only have options of Actuary Science or Educational Foundations, provided the cutoff remain as last year's. |

dreyposh:OK, I think I get ut now!! .. what is ur aggregate point, are u also willingly to delve more into maths, if you are given an admission to study actuarial science!! u still need to weigh the risk!!! what coc, ie change ur uni to other GREAT UNIVERSITY, and also make enquiries about courses related to pyschology? |
Re: Please Give Some Enlightenment On Actuarial Science by dreyposh: 10:24pm On Aug 02, 2017 |
NosaH: My point is 61.8%. I can still do with courses like Edu.Admin, Edu.Foundations @ Unilag. |
