The AIMS Research Master's supports graduates moving from a taught or structured Master's in Mathematical Sciences into advanced, specialised research. Students are supervised by AIMS Resident Researchers and partner-university academics and join active research groups, seminars and collaborative projects. Because AIMS is not a degree-granting institution, students are formally registered with the University of Cape Town, Stellenbosch University or the University of the Western Cape.
Faculty: African Institute for Mathematical Sciences | Department: AIMS Research Centre | Study mode: full-time | Location: Muizenberg, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Research-based study within AIMS Research Centre groups, with seminars and collaborative projects. Students often contribute to resident academic programmes as Teaching Assistants and can take part in incoming and outgoing research exchanges.
Open to graduates of the Structured Master's and to graduates of other institutions; a four-year undergraduate degree, or a three-year degree with an honours year. Positions and application procedures are advertised on the AIMS website as they become available.
Structured Master's: academic year starts in September and runs to the end of June. Mathematical Sciences stream: September intake, plus a January intake for South African applicants. AI for Science stream: September intake only.
Structured Master's applications are open from January to March for the September intake. For the Mathematical Sciences stream January intake (South African applicants), applications are open from August to October of the preceding year. Applications are made online (apply.aims.ac.za for Mathematical Sciences; ai.aims.ac.za/apply for AI for Science).
The Structured Master's scholarship covers tuition and research fees, flights, airport transfers, medical insurance, a stipend of R2,200 per month, on-site accommodation and three meals a day.
