    Actuarial Mathematics for Insurance and Superannuation

    Mathematics & Statistics

    COURSE CODE

    ACTL3151

    Long-term contingent cashflow valuation is fundamental for actuarial work, especially for life-, disability- and health insurance, pensions and superannuation. They are also increasingly applied in broader areas in social protection and policy. This course introduces models and techniques from actuarial mathematics combining the present value principles with stochastic modelling, in order to derive the value of contingent cashflows for pricing, reserving, projections and profit testing purposes. The course also covers contemporary management issues in life, health and superannuation products such as longevity, and premium rating. Spreadsheets will be used to perform computations.

The aim of the course is to ensure that students are familiar with the central principles of Administrative Law. Students completing the course will develop an appreciation of the relationship between law and government decision making, including how the law forms a framework that enables and controls government activity within the broader context of the rule of law. Students will learn the principles and procedures for review of administrative action, and learn to apply this understanding to resolve practical problems.

A mindset shift that prioritizes well-being, cultural awareness, and community from day one—helping students start their semester with a strong foundation.

Through interactive sessions with experts like Tim Jack Adams (wellness strategist) and Dr. Jodie Bradman (clinical psychologist), students explore resilience, stress management, and personal well-being strategies to navigate the challenges of studying abroad.

Walter

Michigan State University

"Growing up, I was a huge fan of Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. He inspired me a lot to get into my major and study wildlife. Australia is about as wild as it gets. Right now, I am living the best life."

Gabby

University of Florida

“Studying abroad with Hop has truly been the best decision I have ever made. In a short amount of time, I have explored the lively rainforests and the shimmering Great Barrier Reef. I've climbed mountains, sat at the edge of waterfalls, and even surfed the waves of the Gold Coast. I've met so many new friends from different backgrounds who unite on the same goal of discovering and learning, and I couldn’t have done that without Hop.”
