AIMS South Africa AI for Science Master’s Programme 2023
The AIMS South Africa AI for Science Master’s Programme 2023 is now accepting applications. A new stream in the Master of Mathematical Science programme at the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in South Africa, called AI for Science, was made feasible thanks to a collaboration with DeepMind.
The programme is located at the fascinating nexus of science and artificial intelligence. It is a one-year taught masters programme that is entirely residential and includes research. Students from all over Africa who are enthusiastic about mathematics, AI, and machine learning are welcome to apply. They are searching for students who are awestruck by the universe and the wonders of the cosmos and who want to use their skills to advance scientific research.
