The program is designed as a 'conversion' program for students with a solid background in mathematics or statistics, but limited actuarial knowledge, to develop actuarial and other risk management skills to satisfy the Part I requirements of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia.

The program also offers graduates from a background of limited risk management and actuarial studies an opportunity to extend their study.

All graduate coursework for domestic students in the ANU College of Business and Economics is offered under Domestic Tuition Fee places. Australian citizens may defer the payment of their fees using FEE-HELP, however should be aware that the programs are not eligible for Commonwealth Supported Places and HECS-HELP. Information on FEE-HELP and eligibility requirements is available from http://www.goingtouni.gov.au/
