不知道香港精算就业形势怎么样？有知道的可以说一说~ 11年的时候某法国公司全世界招8个人 又电面又conference call的
开的offer 1w8一个月non negotiable...

Objectives: The Actuarial Science curriculum at the University of Hong Kong aims at providing formal academic and professional training to students who wish to join the actuarial profession. Although actuarial science is a separate discipline with its own area of knowledge, modern actuarial training requires multidisciplinary knowledge such as probability, statistics, economics, investment, finance, law, taxation, and accounting.  The Actuarial Science curriculum reflects this by incorporating various interdisciplinary courses into the basic actuarial training.  The programme is set up to equip students with solid background in actuarial science, to develop their confidence and analytical skills to define and tackle problems in actuarial science and other related fields.  Specifically, the programme is designed to provide adequate knowledge for students to sit for the early professional examinations organized by international actuarial organizations so that they can successfully join the actuarial profession after graduation.  In addition, the programme provides enough academic training for students who wish to pursue postgraduate studies in actuarial science or other related areas. Learning Outcomes: Students would be able to: a.        understand and apply various analytic and quantitative methods to define and solve problems in insurance, finance, economics, investment, pension, financial risk management and demography; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) b.        understand and identify the nature of insurance, finance and investment risks; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) c.        develop analytical skills to evaluate and measure various kinds of risk; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) d.        formulate effective business strategies to manage them; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) e.        pass the early professional examinations organized by international actuarial organizations; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) f.        pursue postgraduate studies in actuarial science or other related fields; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) g.        discuss current actuarial issues and acquire and apply practical knowledge in some specially designed courses; (by means of coursework and tutorial classes and/or research-based project in the curriculum) In addition, some students can join our internship programme to gain work experience before graduation.

回复看看  支持楼主

怎么都是顶贴的。。 有几句说几句吧。港大本科精算专业属于理学院统计及精算系下面，但是和理学士是分开的单独一个program（用现在流行的话说叫B格很高= = )
。收生一直标准颇高，跟最难进的法律啊，医学有得一拼。所以进去的无论本地人还是内地生都可以说是精英。本地生更多social资源，内地生学霸更多。（导致毕业后做精算的反而没那么多了，因为学术能力太强，可能因为招生标准高对精算不了解才进去读的。。）

硕士项目不了解。。

老师的话杨海亮爷爷貌似大家都是好评，木有选过精算的任何课程，不好评价。精算系的统计/数学课是单独的课程代码，当然有些内容重合的会和统计系/商学院 一起上课。

还是等精算界牛学长过来介绍吧。。

在坑u交换一年，刚开始也不好怎么说。
不过看了他们培养计划，感觉经济，金融要学的课程也很多的。
大牛很多，只能膜拜。

精算，不错！

其实精算的需求也挺小众的
