BSc Actuarial Science
The only program in Thailand that offers an international degree in actuarial science accredited by the IFoA
Our 3.5-year program trains students towards the actuarial profession, which is the analytical backbone of our society’s financial security systems. This profession is heavily represented in the financial services sector, including insurance companies, commercial banks, investment firms, and pension fund agencies.
Actuary is a profession that utilizes mathematics and statistics to estimate the financial impact of uncertainty and manages risk exposure to ensure a profitable business operation. An actuary speculates future events and provides financial security by reducing the impact of any adverse outcomes. This profession evaluates the likelihood and designs actuarial models that businesses can use to outline the best course of action.
The future for actuaries is constantly evolving as advances in artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and industrial automation accelerate. These technologies will create new opportunities for actuaries as the true business strategists.
