So if what he said is correct, you're better off doing a B.Com (Honours) in actuarial studies because then you've got exemption for Parts 1 & 2.

But I only asked him in person so my credibility is low.  Remember, this is uni.  Only the written mode can be used as official evidence.

So assuming you have a BCom Actuary Part I accreditation already, is UoM Honors the only possible course to get Part II? Do any other unis offer Part II accreditation alone?

I asked Prof. Dickson about this and he was a bit shaky about it.  He said you could do it through "correspondence", whatever that was supposed to mean.

I asked him last year Open Day in the morning at the Actuarial Studies stand.

so we need to complete 3 parts for actuarial studies before getting a job?
And why do most of people say this course is difficult?

I'm fairly sure you can (and most people try to) work while studying for the third exam (I'm not so sure on the first two).
