Chartered Accountancy and Actuarial Science are two different working fields of study that are related to finance. A professional in Actuarial Science deals with the risk factors that can occur in future and the mitigation techniques.

National University of Singapore does not provide an MSc in Finance programme part-time. It is a 16-month-long full-time programme that needs to be completed on campus. This includes an optional experiential learning course. The university mentions that it may provide the course part-time depending on the market demand, which is unlikely to happen in the near future.

There is no minimum undergraduate grade required to apply. A good undergraduate degree in any discipline is expected. However, if a candidate does not have a high GPA, then the GMAT score needs to be strong to compensate. The admission process is very competitive, so it is suggested to have good scores to back the application.
