Funded places on AIMS Postgraduate Diploma Programme

Applications for the programme commencing in August 2012 at AIMS-South Africa, AIMS-Ghana and AIMS-Senegal are now open.

The course is open to students of African nationality, who should hold, or anticipate completing by the start date of the AIMS course, a 4-year university degree in mathematics, or any science or engineering subject with a significant mathematics component.

An applicant's record should demonstrate strong aptitude in mathematics. We advise students with insufficient knowledge of English to follow an English course in their home country before coming to AIMS-South Africa. Students applying to AIMS-Senegal will require knowledge of French and English. The Course section provides further information on the courses and lecturers at AIMS South Africa for the current academic year.

Selection process

One of the goals of AIMS is to recruit a student body representative of Africa's diversity. Each applicant's dossier will be evaluated in the light of the prior educational opportunities available to her or him. The application process is highly competitive and potential applicants must be able to demonstrate both a high degree of motivation, and the preparation and ability required to complete the course successfully. Admission decisions will be made separately from bursary decisions, and without regard to whether or not an applicant has applied for financial aid.
