Thank you for clarifying my doubt. I wonder if the open house this coming 25 sept is useful to understand more on this course? Because i won't be able to attend as i will be having overseas training.
Open house of which university? SIM ? It depends on who is giving you the information.. if the person is an ex-student of BME then yeah otherwise probably not..
So since you said that there is no degree deals heavily with statistic offered in LSE, does it mean to becoming an actuary in future and to go for actuarial exams, picking up either Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Economics and Finance; Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Banking and Finance and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Finance too make not much a difference?
Here at the LSE, they have a specialised Bachelor of Actuarial Science wherein most of the modules are statistics. But this degree is not offered externally. I can safely say BnF and AnF wont help much, but EnF and MnE will definitely help.. for your case I would recommend taking EnF instead of MnE, use your electives to choose the statistics courses Advanced Statistics Distribution Theory and Statistical Inference.. but if you think you may consider doing MSc. Statistics or Finance or anything in the future, choose BME instead..
At the same time, what's the timetable schedule like for BME? I heard from my friend that studying full-time there is about 3 hours a day only which allows me to have free time to work? I see that this course is not offered in part time and I, financially have difficulty in settling the course fees so I need to work for the money.
offered full time means that the (maths) classes are all in the morning and afternoon.. unless you have a weird working hours then yeah
I like the part where you say that its dealing with x,y,z,etc because previously in secondary school I like studying A and E maths. So lastly, do you have exam papers or notes which you can send me? I would like to see the types of questions itself inorder to know if this is really the course I am looking for. Because coming from an irrelavent course in polytechnic, really make me suffer a lot just because of a sudden curiousity after O level. I should have just chose JC.
Again, thanks for picking time to answer all my questions!
