Excellent video!

RIGHT now am studying BSC [ MATHEMATIC AND CHEMISTRY] So means that i must take PHD OR DEGREE IS FINE

[@benmahudu7431]

Hi Bonginhlanhla, if you are doing a BSc in Mathematics and Chemistry, I take it that those are your majors. Then you can choose to do a postgraduate degree in mathematics or chemistry, depending on your final year results. If you choose the Mathematics route, an honours degree will be sufficient for you to get a corporate job in data science or quantitative analysis or any of the jobs requiring mathematics.

How credible is a maths and stats degree from unisa? I'm considering doing it there and do my honours at wits/UP. Can I also write actuarial board exams if I have the unisa degree?

[@thatomothoagae7939]

It’s credible and yes you can write them

[@MonkeyMan2129]

@@thatomothoagae7939 you won't get any exemptions through UNISA as they are not an ASSA accredited University with a designated Actuary , go and check the requirments to become a student member ASSA's site

[@emilychabedi4215]

It is highly credible, I recently graduated in the same degree (BSc degree Mathematics n statistics) after 4 months landed a good job at Discovery. So don't listen to all the noise saying Unisa qualifications aren't credible. All lies!!!!

[@summertime_magic]

What matters is if you can pass that actuarial board exam.
I'm also a math major at UNISA and looking foward to do a BscHons Mathematics at UP

[@denaude7058]

Im currently at unisa studying math and stats

[@TshepoThato]
