Past Year Events
NSACT
​
NSACT provides a platform for secondary school and pre-U students to explore the foundation of Actuarial studies. The main objective of NSACT is to develop holistic future actuaries. This event also serves as a bridge between university and secondary school students.
I-TRIP
​
UMACT Interaction Trip (I-Trip) is one of the annual bonding events that UMACT organizes. This event is usually a 3D2N trip. Participants will play various interesting games which require teamwork between batchmates, seniors and juniors. This is one of the events that all of us are looking forward to each year.
I-DAY
​
I-Day or Interaction Day is an orientation program for UM Actuarial Science freshmen to understand more about actuarial science through alumni and academic sharing sessions. Also, we will provide insights and information on the actuarial examinations during I-Day.
SPORTS DAY
​
UMACT Sports Day is another annual event that is organized by UMACT to strengthen the bonding and relationship between coursemates. It also helps students to unwind from their stressful studies, keep fit and stay active despite their heavy workload.
ANNUAL DINNER
​
For every academic session, UMACT will organize an appreciation dinner for all actuarial students. It is also a special occasion where students will come together to celebrate seniors’ graduation and UMACT’s achievement during the past academic year.
COMPANY VISIT
​
Company or Industrial Visits are conducted by UMACT to provide exposure to the students about the practical working environment. For aspiring actuaries, it is also an opportunity for them to enquire details on their area of interest. In the past, we have collaborated with Great Eastern, Deloitte, Tokio Marine and many more.
WEBINARS
​
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our society activities were not permitted to be conducted physically. Instead, we conducted numerous insightful virtual events. We are glad that virtual events were well received by students as the information shared by the speakers were well delivered and easily accessed by the attendees.
CASE STUDY COMPETITION
​
A national-level competition where groups of students are invited to come together as a team and solve the actuarial-related cases within a limited time. This competition involves research and problem solving as parts of the case study challenge. Participants will be required to discuss and prepare a live presentation within a specific fixed period.
