PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 项目描述

: A5 x+ t& o. X

The future is uncertain, and so there is a certain amount of financial risk when dealing with future events - actuarial scientists study this risk. You'll study mathematics, statistics, economics and finance to become well prepared for the professional exams. After graduation you'll find employment in areas such as life insurance, financial markets or currency exchange.

MASTER OF SCIENCE in Actuarial Science 硕士

Admission Requirements

录取标准

English Language Competence

英语要求
/ O4 z, |8 ?* f" a$ _

English is the language of instruction and communication at the University. Accordingly, an applicant whose primary language is not English must demonstrate command of English sufficient to pursue graduate studies in the chosen field. Applicants normally will be required to achieve a minimum score of 7.0 on the International English LanguageTest System (IELTS - the academic NOT the general test) with a minimum of 6.5 in each section. The Test of English as a Foreign Language(TOEFL) may be used as an equivalent test provided a score of 93 or better is achieved with a minimum of 20 in each section (TOEFL-internet based exam), or TOEFL 580 and the Test of Written English(TWE) 5.0 (paper-based). All test scores are valid for a period of two years from the date of the test. Some graduate programs have higher English Language Proficiency requirements as described elsewhere in this Calendar.

A类雅思7分（小分至少6.5） 托福至少93（小分至少20）

International applicants whose primary language is not English will not be required to complete an English-language test if they have completed a degree at an institution where the language of instruction and examination was in English in a country where English is the primary language.

如果英语国家完成了一个学位课程将豁免语言

An applicant requesting a waiver of the English language proficiency test should do so in writing and submit it with their application. The dean of graduate studies, in consultation with the department, will make determinations in these cases. It should be noted that in order to maintain a high academic standard, very few waivers are granted. Therefore, it is recommended that those applicants whose primary language is not English submit an English language proficiency test with their application.

想申请豁免语言的申请者需要递交一个写作测试，值得注意的是，很少申请者会成功豁免语言，建议申请时递交托福雅思成绩
