入大學問題

Sindy

想問下,大學有無齋pure maths讀?我女淨係對呢科有興趣, 讀完有咩出路?thanks

睇你女想將來從事金融業方面，天文台測量，或教書行業？
男仔的讀純數，多數去教書
女仔去見工會較flexible

Fyi，pure math同georgraphic science有關連，當年我想選hku呢科因沒讀數就不能選，反而讀statistic同金融有關連多。

我仔朋友仔係澳洲讀精算，後來 master 都改左讀 finance .......

有朋友(英國top rank uni 畢業)成功入到行, 之後係咁俾人 head hunt, 唔使自己搵工, 羨慕死人, 不過要考到牌, 真係非常困難

我女以前的男友是尖子讀精算,之後入左再保險公司做,知少許皮毛,精算師可以說是神秘行業,保險公司甚少公開請人,自薦形式多,話說有個在保險公司做,未夠30已年薪過百萬,香港入行甚難,行頭窄,每年只請好少人,早幾年本港 ...

Hi,

Great to have your sharing on this topic.  My son is interested in Phy, Chem, Bio and gets grade B in these subjects, however, his Maths is not good (grade D).  We don't have much knowledge to help him plan his future career, kindly give some advice.

That's great. There are other majors that your daughter can choose even if she is not interested in actuarial science.

In the applied science field, Quantitative Finance, Risk Management etc. should share some common subjects as in actuarial science.

Of course if she is interested in pure science, she can choose from pure science subjects.

That's right!  She is reaching the age where she will need to start making plan for herself rather than relying on her parents.

Sorry that I don't have more specific information in Australia since I studied in the U.S.  But if there are further information concerning the subjects, I would certainly love to offer any advices if I could.

Curtin 相對於 Mq 而言, 其入學要求較低.

根據 Institute of Actuaries of Australia (IAA) 的資料顯示, 現有6間澳洲大學提供該會認可課程。如要 exempt 該會專業試 Part I 部份或所有 subjects:

Curtin University of Technology students must obtain at least a mark of 73% in the Curtin unit, for subjects CT1 & CT6 and an average of at least 73%, with a minimum of at least 65% in each of Curtin units for all other subjects.

Macquarie University students must obtain at least a credit grade.

Hi Sindy,

Always want to find a chance to express my appreciation for your helps and support when my daughter applied to kindergarten 2 years ago.

Just to share some information since I also studied math major in college (well....  that was long ago though).

Just to clarify if your daughter is interested in pure math, then actuarial science is not her cup of tea since it is more statistics in nature.  I am not sure how the subjects are defined in HKAL nowadays but that should be more in the applied math area for the old HKAL syllabus.

If her interest is on pure math, then she should really be aiming for mathematics department.  Since I studied (extensively) both math and statistics in university, there is a clear difference between these two subjects and where they can be applied.  For example, math is a critical subject for preparation of post-graduate study of economics.  For a PhD program for Economics, the entire first year will only be math.  On the other hand, statistics will be more related to subjects like actuarial science or finance majors.

Honestly, statistics will be more useful in workplace so it can applied to wider professions.  For math, its application to business world is limited and the problem in Hong Kong is people don't appreciate the technicality of these specialists.

So, I guess your daughter would have to start considering her future career to have early planning.  Has she been accepted by the Australian university already?  Is Australia the only country she is considering now?

精算師的就業範疇非常廣泛，可於政府部門或商業機構（如健康保險公司、退休基金公司、銀行、金融財務機構等），從事金融財務顧問、股票經紀、基金經紀等，以評估風險及作出金融財務上的決策。就算冇牌, 都可以從事以上行業，只不 ...

精算師的就業範疇非常廣泛，可於政府部門或商業機構（如健康保險公司、退休基金公司、銀行、金融財務機構等），從事金融財務顧問、股票經紀、基金經紀等，以評估風險及作出金融財務上的決策。就算冇牌, 都可以從事以上行業，只不過人工可能冇咁高。

據香港精算學會資料, 現時所有精算師都要應考海外的專業資格試，普遍獲業界承認的專業試有英國、澳洲及美國三個選擇。

按2010 年7 月份的資料顯示 (http://www.actuaries.org.hk/membership.php?id=7)，目前香港大約只有429 名正式會士（Fellow Members ）精算師、157 名準會士（Associate Members ）精算師和160 名學生會士（Student Members ）精算師。能考獲精算師牌照及已取得正式會士（Fellow Members ）資格才可稱為精算師。
