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)?
