Hi, if possible, could you use the search function to look at your topic first.

There's a couple threads about actuarial science in this forum, dating back to 2004. I'm sure you could find answers to maybe more than what you're asking over here.

Here's the link to the main thread of the Actuarial Science thread
http://www.recom.org/forum/showthread.php?t=616&

1. Why is an actuarial science degree not recognized when public universities as well as several major scholarship sponsors all have openings for actuarial science. Besides, if you search deeper through the net, you'll realized that the actuary profession progression depends on the number of professional exams that you had passed, and not your degree. So, it really doesn't matter.

2. Aside from private unis, public u like UKM do offer AS.

3. I believe a multitude of factors will go into this, but the most common consideration between these colleges will be the financial aspect.

4. Well, this course involved probability, financial modeling, statistical modeling and so forth. You can search for a syllabus for the professional exams online to know more about it. After you finish this course, you could continue taking professional papers to be a certified actuary, or move to other fields.

1)As I knew, all degree that being provided in local university are degrees that been accredited by MQA, even the degree of AS in Utar also have been accredited by MQA
Futhermore, the profession paper of AS is really much more important than its degree very much~the more paper that u can pass, the more prospect for you in finding a job in field of AS

2)For local universities in Malaysia, there are only 3 providing degree of AS(if i am not mistaken), UM, UKM, and UitM(if you are a bumi), for IPTS, there aren't much also, just those you have listed

3) It's all about your family financial status, if affordable, definitely study overseas will be better, however it costs a lots,although just 2 years overseas in Help, in Utar, it's price is much lower and scholarships provided

4) This course is mainly about mathematics especially in statitics & probability, everyone says that if you wan to take AS, your math and probability must be very strong. The job prospect of AS is mainly work as actuary in insurance company(if you have succeed)
