Actuarial Science / Quantitative finance 有何不同?

adrjoc

Actuarial Studies involves financial and insurance risk analysis and the application of risk models to long term financial management in areas such as investment, finance, general insurance, superannuation and life insurance.

The Actuarial Studies major serves as a foundation for students who wish to enter the actuarial profession. Students must achieve the required academic standard in their Actuarial Studies courses to gain exemption from Part I of The Institute of Actuaries of Australia, the CT courses of The Institute of Actuaries (London) professional examinations and the VEE credit for the Society of Actuaries USA). Students can gain exemption from Part II of The Institute of Actuaries of Australia professional examinations and become an Associate member by completing an Honours year in Actuarial Studies, a fourth year in a combined degree, the Master of Actuarial Studies or non award enrolment at the required academic standard.

There is strong demand for graduates in Actuarial Studies. Employers in the financial services industry – including banks, insurers and consultants – value the rigorous quantitative risk training in the Actuarial Studies major.

Thx for the info.
Is it possible for a graduate of AS taking the career path to become an analyst or vise versa (i.e. QF ---> actuary)?
