数学本科毕业，打算到UNSW读精算硕士，问课程质量？如何免修课程？毕业是否好找工作？

[size=5][color=blue][b]请在UNSW读精算或者是精算硕士的XDJM看看~~[/b][/color][/size]
[size=5][color=blue][b][color=red]俺国内211大学数学本科毕业，已经收到UNSW offer[/color]:monkey1[/b][/color][/size]
[size=5][color=blue][b][color=red]俺是准备读精算研究生~~ :monkey1
[/color]1。看了不少帖子，说UNSW的精算资历比较浅，到底UNSW的精算怎么样呢？是不是super艰难啊？:monkey1 :monkey1 :monkey1
2。精算硕士part1,part2的豁免是怎么样的？（本人在国内读的本科，学的数学）能说详细点不~~
3。俺也不打算移民，毕业后想利用18个月试着找工作是不是很难，尤其对于硕士毕业生（听说精算毕业了在澳洲不好找工作）[/b][/color][/size]
[size=6][b][size=5][color=blue]请大虾们帮忙说说，谢谢拉~~~:monkey1 :monkey1 :monkey1 :monkey1 :monkey1 [/color][/size]

虽然我没读过, 不过我之前也收到了UNSW master of actuarial study 的 offer..

exemption for part 1 is where you get credit or above, exemption for part 2 is where you get distinction or above. Don't intimidate by the distinction average stuffs, the professor ( michael somebody told me that they will set the average mark as the dintinction)

So accroding to what he said, you just need to achieve the average level to gain exemption.

Mate, this is pretty much I know..you can ask the staffs there, they are really nice...not like some MQ asses

About jobs...Well, it is not that hard if you are not looking for traditional actuarial job ( like actuarial analyst ). But I heard Hongkong and Singapore have more actuarial jobs available.( Thinking Aus as a relatively small financial market ..

多谢william~~~:monkey1

个人猜想，精算这专业关键是得有门路入行。 如果和一般的商科学生一起去抢普通的office worker位置，精算学生应该没有什么优势。

你可以上seek.com.au上搜索一下这方面工作多不多，大概了解一下情况。

谢谢NNBEAR:monkey1
想问一下你的意思是不是一定要找专门针对精算毕业生的工作。。。这样机遇大一点？

我的意思是说，一般的公司只会招聘普通文员，这种工作学普通商科会计的毕业生更加适合。
而这种普通文员的工作数目应该要比精算师工作多。

但个人觉得很多公司一般不会愿意招聘精算毕业生当个普通文员，知道你也不会安心干下去。

精算这个行业，听说是只要你大学毕业后能顺利入行（也就是找到一个真正的精算师专业工作），以后就基本上能“钱”途和前途无量了。 但关键是第一步你能否顺利入行。

True. They will say you are "overqualified" to be an admin staff.But I am sure you don't want to be an office gofer after many years of hard study. Many people working in finance industry don't even have a college degree!!
I just saw one job ad that needs actuarial student yesterday, but it is very rare.

There are some advantages as a actuarial graduates for jobs ( for finance industry ) that need very good  :

Quantitative skills
Analytic skills

Most of my actuarial freinds are working in Investment bank now. Only few selectives got job from insurance companies.

问下william , 是不是有很多中国学生学精算这专业呢？ 那研究生又是什么情况？

most of the actuarial students are Chinese, including ABC and native Chinese..( more ABC than native Chinese I think )

The rest are korean, Indian, south asian ( malaysian, singaporean ...), middle easternian. Number of aussie students are countable, in my year, there were 4 to 5.

Master of actuarial studies at Macquarie univeristy is for those students that have completed an acturial undergraduate degree. But there is a new course ( start this year I think ) called master of actuarial practice, it is for students without an actuarial undergraduate degree.


You can go to their website and have a look..

The one is UNSW is where you was talking about. I never attended their lecture, but I enrolled one of the core subject b4, there were 20 something students enrolled at that time. A fairly small class..

问下william， 像我这种读1年半的精算研究生，是不是大概大部分时间都用学习上了？课程会很紧吗？
你有什么建议关于是否在学习的同时，打打工？可行么？
请指点！:monkey1

呵呵, 我当时读精算的时候, advisor就告诉我说千万别去打工..结果没听, 还真是打工打最多那个学期读得最不好..你自己看吧, 如果你应付得了就去打工

不过你放假的时候可以去找些intern..

你这学期学哪几门课呢?

如果时间紧的话，那我也想，不敢打工了，肯定开始不会适应，学习要紧啊~~反正我这个一年半就读完了，苦一苦应该能过去， :monkey1

did college narrowed your mind? :monkey8

刚看到有数学本科毕业,干净窜进来看看,还以为认识的,结果居然是中国毕业的...
