Study options

This double degree allows you to study both Actuarial Studies and Information Systems and discover the many practical applications from combining such majors. Actuarial Studies is concerned about more than just mathematics and numbers. It combines study in mathematics, economics, insurance, finance, statistics and programming. This double degree will allow you to complement your Actuarial Studies with business analytics. Information Systems looks at how we can create and use new and existing technology to solve business problems. You will gain skills and experience in business analytics, business programming, data management, enterprise systems and network security. The double degree helps you to harness analytic skills, which are one of the core sub-disciplines of the actuarial profession, with specific business analytic skills – and learn how to use modeling and data analysis techniques on large data sets to discover predictive patterns and relationships for business use. Why choose this degree? Apply the practical applications that come by combining study in both actuarial studies and information systems. Who should choose this degree? Anyone keen to add solid skills in programming to complement an actuarial career.

About

Concrete, which is made using industrial waste from steel manufacturing and coal-fired power stations, is being used in a trial in the roads of Sydney for the first time in the world.

UNSW Sydney researchers and the CRCLCL, CRC for Low Carbon Living will use these trial results to create industry guidelines for the very first set of geopolymer concrete.

“While we’ll monitor the road performance for up to five years, a lot of the data collected in the first three to 12 months of this world-first trial will be used to confirm our models and strengthen our predictions. Concrete contributes 7% of all greenhouse gas emissions and in 2018 the world produced about 4.1 billion tonnes of cement, which contributed about 3.5 billion tonnes of CO2. Alternative, low-CO2 concrete materials offer potential benefits in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with conventional concrete. This trial is important because we need demonstration projects to accurately assess the performance of geopolymer over time so that there can be broader uptake,” said Craig Heidrich, executive director of Australian (Iron and Steel) Association and Ash Development Association.

According to the associate professor of sustainability research at UNSW, Dr Tommy Wiedmann, if all concrete produced was geopolymer in place of traditional concrete for one year - 12,000 kilotons of carbon di oxide would be saved.
