About ASOC

The Actuarial Society of UNSW (ASOC) is a student society which is tailored to provide support for actuarial students on campus in their challenging but rewarding experience at university. As a constituent club of the university, it is supported by the Arc, the Faculty of Business and the School of Actuarial Studies.

Our vision is "To guide and facilitate a supportive, social and united actuarial student community on campus", a principle that guides the general running and purpose of our society.

The ASOC experience can also be summed up by our motto: Aspirations, Support, Opportunities, Community, as we believe that these four words derive the essence of what students can expect from our society.

ASOC is one of the most highly regarded actuarial student societies in Australia and is also one of the most active clubs in UNSW in terms of activities and support for our members. We provide a wide range of events throughout the year, in four major areas: social; sporting; academic; and careers. These involve events such as a mentoring program, PASS classes, inter-university sporting competitions, BBQs, career seminars, a ski-trip, an annual ball and many more. We also produce a monthly publication for members and pride ourselves on developing an active network of volunteers which allows members to develop skills, get involved in campus life, and have a sense of ownership in our activities. Moreoever, latest news, snapshots and reviews of our fantastic events are published in our regular Finity Actuarial Bulletin.

All students currently in the process of completing either: a major or minor in actuarial studies; or undertaking an actuarial subject or mathematics for actuarial and finance are automatic members of the society. Others wishing to join the society may become associate members by paying an annual membership fee.

We welcome all students to join ASOC and be a part of our wonderful events. It is a great chance to network with peer future actuaries. We look forward to seeing you on board in this fantastic actuarial journey with us!
