Centre for Actuarial Studies

Members of the Centre undertake research in insurance, superannuation, financial mathematics and related areas. Our actuarial programs are firmly established and conducted by academics respected in their fields.

Actuarial studies is a discipline well-known for its quantitative aspects and mathematical rigour. Actuaries assess, evaluate and manage the financial risks faced by individuals, organisations and governments for future planning.
