Overview of Bachelor of Science (Honours) Actuarial Sciences in Quest International University Perak Malaysia

Bachelor of Science (Hons) Actuarial Sciences is a professional degree that trains actuaries who are equipped with the capabilities to model and analyse finance-related risks, especially in the banking and insurance industries. Private sectors such as financial planning institutions, corporations, investment companies and brokerage firms have a high demand for skilful actuaries in risk management and financial consulting services.
