Master\u2019s in Mathematical Sciences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AIMS Structured Master\u2019s Program<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AIMS delivers a world-class Master\u2019s in Mathematical Sciences to students recruited from across the African continent. Each AIMS centre offers an intensive ten-month structured Master\u2019s degree with courses taught by renowned visiting lecturers from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-operative (Co-op) Education Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Also culminating in the AIMS Master\u2019s in Mathematical Sciences, AIMS also offers a work-integrated learning Co-operative (Co-op) Education program that builds on the structured Master\u2019s and adds a work term component in partnership with private and public industry partners. The co-op program is offered at AIMS Cameroon, AIMS Rwanda and AIMS Senegal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Co-operative Education Program (Master\u2019s in Mathematical Sciences) is an 18-months long and takes a work-integrated learning approach by combining course work with practical industry experience. This allows students to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world problems while gaining work experience in an industrial environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program includes a work placement phase, usually six months long, in addition to 10 months of course work. Co-op students commence work on their research projects during the work placement, after which they finalise, submit and defend before a jury. Successful completion of all coursework and work placement is a prerequisite for graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

African Master\u2019s in Machine Intelligence (AMMI)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, AIMS launched the first of its kind African Master\u2019s in Machine Intelligence (AMMI). AMMI is a one-year intensive Master\u2019s program taught by the leading experts in artificial intelligence and machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMMI is a novel fully-funded one-year intensive graduate program that provides brilliant young Africans with state-of-the-art training in machine learning and its applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AMMI program will prepare well rounded machine intelligence researchers who respond to both present and future needs of Africa and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
