Could you be the next Einstein? Are you interested in solving #Africa’s most pressing challenges, with a 4-year degree in maths/science discipline? The African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) calls for applications from qualified candidates for its 2021 Masters in Mathematical Sciences Degree Programme.
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, modelling, 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. Research initiated in these projects often develops into further postgraduate research work after AIMS.
