Make an original and significant contribution to knowledge in the fields of Risk and Actuarial Studies under the tutelage of high profile academics.

The aim of the UNSW Business School's Doctoral Program in Risk and Actuarial Studies is to train you with the skills to identify, analyse and solve problems using original academic research in this field.

Rigorous coursework will be undertaken dealing with topics such as risk theory; multivariate models for risks, longevity risk management, economic and regulatory capital, and investment and asset liability modelling. This is followed by full-time research culminating in a doctoral thesis.

You will be involved in research projects from an early stage and enjoy the interdisciplinary engagement with a high-quality cohort of research students across the whole Business School. There will also be exciting opportunities to develop your teaching portfolio.

Ultimately, your PhD thesis will showcase your research skills and contributions your research makes to knowledge by offering original insights into the field.
