China's universities have 740 undergraduate majors, the number of majors is relatively large, but only divided into twelve university disciplines, parents ask me which actuarial science and statistics should be studied? In fact, in some schools, they are enrolled together, called statistics (actuarial science) and statistics. Why is this happening?
You should know that at the undergraduate level, statistics is a major under the science discipline and actuarial science. It is a major under the discipline of economics, although the two belong to different categories, but the difference in the courses they study is not too big, actuarial science is to analyze insurance data, is a discipline based on statistics. The main difference is that actuarial science has some courses on insurance principles, financial mathematics, life insurance actuarial science, etc., so most of them will go to insurance or financial companies after graduation.
Peking University, Chinese min University, statistics major is the best in China, in the 4th round of discipline evaluation report obtained a+ status, Nankai University, Northeast Normal University, East China Normal University, Xiamen University, received an evaluation. Therefore, when applying for the exam, these schools are very worthy of our consideration.
Statistics and actuarial science, both of which have higher requirements for students' mathematical foundation and foreign language foundation, if the mathematics or foreign language performance is poor, students should not choose these two majors. The direction of future employment in statistics may be broader, both actuarial network, and the direction of employment can also choose other directions. The future employment direction of actuarial science is relatively fixed. Therefore, if you are employed at the undergraduate level, actuarial science has more advantages than you will get a higher salary. However, if the future development is definitely actuarial, the direction of learning is not as broad as that of statistics. However, we must understand that no matter which major it is, as far as our students are concerned, as long as they study seriously, they can have a good office in the end.
