I think BA degrees are actually the hardest since they require you to tap into your emotional side unlike all these “number degrees”

There’s no way engineering is harder than an actuarial degree . I can guarantee you that an actuarial student can breeze through an engineering degree but an engineering student may not be able to complete an actuarial degree . The BCom modules you’re talking about are only covered in first year by most act sci degrees. Second year you are doing heavy math, actuarial modules, mathematical statistics modules and some quant finance modules . Don’t play

Based on entry requirements, workload, and dropout rates, the consensus for the top 5 most difficult degrees in South Africa are: · 1. Medicine (MBChB): Widely considered the hardest, with acceptance rates as low as 4-10%. It demands 60-80 hour weeks, 6-7 years of study, and a punishing mix of theory and clinical practice. · 2. Actuarial Science: One of the most mathematically demanding undergraduate degrees, requiring top marks (e.g., 80%+ in Mathematics) for entry. It features high dropout rates due to its complex statistical analysis and modeling. · 3. Engineering (e.g., Chemical, Biomedical, Mining): Features grueling workloads and high attrition rates; reports indicate half of all engineering students don't complete their studies. Biomedical Engineering is particularly tough as it combines engineering with medical sciences. · 4. Law (LLB): Unique in its difficulty because it lacks "perfect" answers, requiring students to build arguments backed by extensive case law and facts. It also has highly competitive admission requirements. · 5. Accounting (BCom): Made difficult by the strict, demanding guidelines set by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA). Beyond the degree, qualifying as a CA requires passing additional rigorous board exams. These courses are challenging, but they're also respected and can lead to rewarding careers. If you're interested in any specific degree, I can tell you more about what it involves.

The major of difficulty is measured by admission points and core subjects levels. Medicine requires level 4 of Mathematics and Physics. So it can't be on top 3. The reason people think medicine is hard, it's the duration of the cause which about 3 yrs, it is just practicals

In my day matric 1982. My class mates chose the following. Fist in class - Did a PhD in Chemical Engineering. Next PhD in Electrical Engineering. Next PhD in Entomology next PhD in Carbon dating I also did electrical Engineering. 4 years not 7 lol ! Medicine is just the enormous body of knowledge to memorise. 😎 Actuarial Science I understood was by far the most challenging! So we were told !
