AIMS Scholarship For Masters’ In Mathematical Sciences

The AIMS Structured Master’s Programme is not a typical university programme. We look for the most talented and motivated students from across the African continent, recognising that grades are not always a good indication of potential.

Taught by top international and local lecturers, the programme is supported throughout by tutors who work closely with the lecturers and students. The programme material is purposefully broad, allowing students to learn about a wide spectrum of mathematical topics and their applications before focusing on a specialised topic for their research project.

For a detailed synopsis on the projects, review the archive of previous years projects submitted at AIMS-South Africa archive and AIMS-Senegal archive.

AIMS provides scholarships to all students, ensuring that an inability to pay is not a barrier to enrolling on the AIMS Masters program.

For the 2015-16 academic year, AIMS will offer courses at AIMS Cameroon, AIMS Ghana, AIMS Senegal, AIMS South Africa and AIMS Tanzania. All applications will be submitted to the AIMS-Next Einstein Initiative (NEI) which is the coordinating body for the network of AIMS centers. One single application is sufficient to be considered for admission.

Applicants are encouraged to submit their application as soon as possible. The closing date for applications is March 23, 2015.
