^ You don't ask unis which unis to apply to. That would be like asking the CEO of Ferrari which car to buy.

There is a very good scope for Actuarial Sciences. Your subject combination is fine. Almost all good universities in Australia and US offer Acturial Sciences as a separate major, and there are many scholarships available in Australian Universities. Just visit their web sites to get all the info.

take an extra year give the exams again.. study using TTC courses (download via torrents), khan academy and Schaums' otulines (download via torrents).. Remove Business Studies and add Further Maths to your mix of subjects... (studying on your own without tuition will let you become more mature and disciplined thus letting you not fall into the trap of becoming lazy at uni because there you are on your own)... Further Maths will give you a slight idea of the type of maths you will study at the undergrad level.. not all unis have Actuarial Programs .. some of them just teach math and stats .. remember Actuarial Science has a lot to do with Statistical Inference and Risk Management... also learn programming languages such as 1. SQL, 2. VBA (Ms Excel) AND 3. Matlab or SAS or R or Stata, (tutorials available via torrents) and also do an internship or partime job for the entire year... give unis the reason that you wanted field experience before enrolling into their program and wanted to do some self study to broaden your horizons
