  • After the successful accreditation of its undergraduate Actuarial Science programmes, UCSI University has launched the MSc in Actuarial Management. This elevates UCSIs oerings in the eld of Actuarial Studies to the Graduate-Education level (curriculum covers all topics on the rst four CAS/SOA exams and programmes leads to a masters degree).

    As a postgraduate programme, the MSc in Actuarial Management will have more emphasis on the theoretical fundamentals of the disciples involved. In addition, this Masters programme oers two structures (C & B) to meet the dierent needs of learners with a rst degree in the quantitative discipline.

    Structure C is ideal for professionals such as mathematics teachers, engineers or economists who want a mid-career switch to the actuarial profession. Structure C will equip them with the essential technical knowledge to pursue the Society of Actuaries (SoA) exams up to the associate level. In addition, it provides essential management know-hows for technicists to succeed in ascending the corporate ladder.

    Structure B is designed for those who already have a degree in or related to actuarial science and would like to boost their theoretical foundation and develop skills for research. As actuarial science is an interdisciplinary programme, an undergraduate degree in this eld may not give due attention to issues on theoretical depth and this postgraduate programme addresses this. Structure B is ideal for those interested to venture into academia or a management role that conducts more rigorous investigative tasks.

    Learners will be equipped with both theoretical knowledge as well as the management skills required to succeed in the local and global elds of actuarial science. Graduates of the MSc in Actuarial Management can be employed as actuaries, risk managers, risk analysts and investment analysts among others. Key employment elds include insurance and reinsurance, banking and nance, consulting, service, government, as well as education.

    CAREERS

The various learning methods include case-based, project-based and simulation-based learning. The assessments include a combination of examinations, project, presentations and a research thesis. Learners can expect to deepen their knowledge in the eld of actuarial science and acquire the management skills that are applicable to the insurance industry and corporate management. They can also enhance their understanding of both academic theoretical conceptualisation and the professional practices. The MSc in Actuarial Management can be pursued either part time (2 years) or full time* (1 year). Structure C will include a total of 41 credit hours while Structure B has a total of 42 credit hours.

  • In todays globalised and fast-paced world, technology is integral in all aspects from business to personal. Technology, particularly information technology (IT) is undoubtedly central to creating value and for this reason it continues to warrant a rising share of total investments for many companies. This makes technology a lucrative eld, particularly for individuals who are entrepreneurs with a core business in technology.

    At the forefront of technology and business, the School of IT addresses this need through its MSc in Technopreneurship. The programme is the rst to be oered by a private institution of higher learning and received the industrys support when it had the honour of being launched in 2013 by Mr Muhammad Imran Kunalan Abdullah, the talent head of Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC). MDeC oversees the development of the MSC Malaysia the nations ICT initiative.

    UCSIs MSc in Technopreneurship is designed to merge the best of entrepreneurship with the skills needed to harness technology to build internationally-recognised businesses and brands. Through close industry collaborations and feedback, we understand the importance of hands-on learning and applicable knowledge. These are achieved through UCSIs Praxis approach that advocates learning beyond the classroom and the application of theory to practice. A key component in this is UCSIs various Praxis Centres in house business entities under the UCSI Group that are run by academic sta, adjunct professors or experienced leaders. These Praxis Centres act as an incubator to guide and nurture aspiring technopreneurs, and provide a medium for them to establish their business and academic connections, which is undoubtedly vital especially in the early years of a start-up.

    If you are looking to tap into the booming technology industry, this programme will get you one step closer to emulate the success of technological giants such as Google and JobStreet.

    The teaching for the MSc in Technopreneurship has particular emphasis on practicality and hands-on learning that goes beyond the classroom. This is achieved through the pragmatic learning experience that complements our theoretical classes. Innovation and creativity is instilled through our Praxis model that utilises the various Praxis Centres to act as incubators to guide and nurture aspiring technopreneurs, and provide a medium for them to establish their business and academic connections, which will go far in realising their start-up ambitions.

    Other learning methods include practical experience during networking sessions with industry players, talks by prominent guest speakers and adjunct professors, industry visits, live consulting, case studies, networking sessions and real-life applications and entrepreneurial experiences. Assessment may take the form of group work, individual assignments, research, seminars or formal examinations.
