Are you wondering how you can apply your mathematical skills in an area that extends you and makes a difference to society? Do you want a degree from two globally respected institutions? Then this is the degree for you!

This program commences in July/August each year at National University of Singapore.

You will spend half of this four-year degree at the National University of Singapore and half of this degree at Australian National University receiving a world-class education at both institutions.

Graduates will apply mathematical, statistical, financial, economic and other skills to untangle the most complex and difficult problems. This will prepare them to be thought leaders in financial fields such as insurance, superannuation, investments and other areas of great importance to our futures.
