The African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) is offering a scholarship to pursue a master’s degree in mathematics. The AIMS Structured Master’s Program runs over three semesters. The requisite skills phase of the AIMS course builds a standard core set of problem-solving skills: estimation, computation, approximation, modeling, data analysis, and statistics. The elective review phase allows students to apply these skills in some of the most exciting areas of science. During the final phase of the AIMS course, students do a research project and write a scientific report under the supervision of an expert researcher on a topic of their choice.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Applicants must hold or expect to obtain by the date of commencement of AIMS training a 4-year university degree in mathematics or any other science/engineering discipline with a significant mathematics component.
