The AIMS Master’s in Mathematical Sciences is a ten month programme with two intakes each year (January and August). The curriculum runs over 3 semesters described below. There is an oral defense of the research project at the end of the academic year followed by a graduation ceremony.
Applications are open for South African and SADC students ONLY and the rest of the Pan African students can apply on 1 December.
The purpose of the research project is:
- to give students the opportunity to work with an expert supervisor on a research project;
- to go through the process of independently reviewing, understanding and explaining scientific or mathematical material;
- to optionally do experiments — on a computer or otherwise — and report the results;
- to write a scientific report.
