The profession of Actuary concerns with financial risks and their uncertainty.  Actuary not only concerns businesses, but can be related to any event which involves risk. For example, actuary firms can be hired to investigate the damages caused by a hurricane etc,

Perfect combination of subjects! Okay, first, you need to decide on the university you want to go. On the university's website, the course details for Actuarial science will be given. I think the combination of subjects you've chosen should be perfect. :)

A side question: Are you Twinkle Charms (Zara)?

One of those rare professions. Most people who I have mentioned it to have never heard of it.
-Yer subject choice is perfect.
-Check the unis where you wanna apply to if they have courses on it.
-IF yer not sure of this fer yer career then I suggest you do Istikhara- best option available! :D
