BCom (Actuarial) (Melb) v BCom/BSc (scholarship - Monash)

Another problem with UoM is that I can do a three year undergrad degree but may not get into Honours year actuarial, which is a serious problem in terms of becoming a FIAA down the track.

Actually, the Honours is Part II of the FIAA journey. So if you don't make to honours, you can always sit exams at the IAAust (i'm pretty sure there's a branch in Melbourne)

However, getting into Honours isn't that hard. If the professors and tutors see you're hard working with good results, you'll be accepted

Thanks Apple, I also found out that upon completion of my Monash Double degree I could then apply for honours Actuarial at Melbourne, so if I do sufficiently well I'll have a range of options available to me, instead of just one - actuarial.

Thanks everyone for your responses - and the mods for changing the title, it's far more succinct now

Good luck everyone for the rest of Change of Preferences, hopefully if you've got big decisions to make you're not stressing too much.
