Hi all, I am a student in Australia studying a Bachelor of Biomedicine, with hopes to becoming a doctor. However, this seems very hard to reach and need to have another option and strongly considering the Masters of actuarial science. Is there many job opportunities in this field in Melbourne after this degree? Any advice would help me so much, Thanks
I graduated at the end of 2025 in a double degree or actuarial studies and commerce with a wam of 72. I got my actuarial part1s exemption from uni and actuarial control cycle part 2 but I barely got this (scraping at the 65 level). I’m stressing about the options I have in actuarial as I don’t even get past the cv stage for entry level roles. I currently have experience as a summer analyst in investments and current role in analytics. How screwed am I and should I give up. I think it might be cos of my wam but not sure what to do for my next steps.
I am graduating from my Actuarial degree in the middle of 2027. There are very little grad opportunities available since most of them start at the beginning of the year.
Does anyone have tips to landing their first actuarial role?
I have been applying to insurance roles, such as assistant underwriting, claims etc. but haven’t had any luck. Should I keep applying to these roles as well?
My parter & I are currently looking to move from the UK to Aus. I’m a qualified actuary with 8 years experience in the life industry. I’ve heard that the life market is quite difficult in Australia and just wanted to get some insight from actuaries there.
- What is the job market currently like? And if it’s poor, do you think it’ll continue this way?
- Is the market better for general insurance? And do actuaries in Aus tend to transition to GI?
Thanks!
My cousin suggested it because it is said to have higher salaries and better opportunities as compared to ACCA, I have just completed my bachelors in commerce and I have completed nine exams of ACCA, I also don’t have much interest in mathematics, but I do have interest statistics. I haven’t taken mathematics in my 12th. I want to know difficulty level of exams
