CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Co-operative (Co-op) Education Program which leads to the AIMS Master’s in Mathematical Sciences was piloted at AIMS Senegal in 2015 and is now equally offered at AIMS Cameroon and AIMS Rwanda. Building on the core structured Master’s, the 18-month co-op Program allows students to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world problems and to transition from academic studies to gainful employment.
RESEARCH FOCUS AREAS
Research across the AIMS Network is driven by a vibrant community of Research Chairs, Lead Scientists, postdoctoral fellows and doctoral researchers drawn from Africa and around the world. Together, they advance frontier research in the mathematical sciences while strengthening Africa’s scientific leadership and global collaborations.
MASTERCARD FOUNDATION SCHOLARS GIVEBACK ACTIVITIES
Across Africa, AIMS Centres are deeply committed to sharing knowledge beyond the classroom and inspiring curiosity in the mathematical sciences. Each of the six AIMS centres prides itself on delivering public engagement and outreach activities that reflect its unique context, community needs and local strengths.
