港中文精算本科精算核心课程各科目大纲详细介绍。

前段时间 Jackie 找香港中文大学(Chinese University of Hong Kong,简称CUHK)商学院精算本科(BBA in Insurance, Financial and Actuarial Analysis)的同学要了一份课件进行学习,作为对自身精算知识点的补充。今天就和大家介绍一下港中文精算本科的课程体系。另外,2022年秋季开始,港中文商学院新开设了精算科学与保险分析硕士(MSc in Actuarial Science and Insurance Analytics),同个学校的精算本科和精算硕士的课程内容大概率一致,所以港中文精算本科和硕士的同学都可以参考本文内容安排学习。
