Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Actuarial Science (ES)

Program Description Actuaries are statistically sophisticated business professionals who assess the probability and financial impacts of personal challenges such as premature death, major illness, disability, car crash, or property damage due to wind, fire, or flood.

Actuaries are the brains of insurance companies, which create and manage financial products designed to mitigate these impacts.

Western's actuarial science courses teach students to apply existing and develop new models and methods used in the analysis and management of risk associated with adverse life events like premature death and disability. Western also has courses that investigate the complexities of modelling life expectancy for the purposes of setting insurance premiums.
