Leave a comment

LOCATION: United Kingdom

Prifysgol Aberystwyth University is pleased to offer scholarships and merit awards to prospective students excelling in their academics. This opportunity is exam-based and is granted to the most exceptional students with the highest examination scores. Please note that Veterinary Science, Veterinary Nursing and Nursing applicants are not eligible to sit the exams.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Exams are optional exams for students applying for an undergraduate degree scheme at Aberystwyth.

The exams will be online and you will need access to a school/college computer with Microsoft Word, internet connection, and a 
web browser (preferably Chrome, Firefox or Edge) in order to access and submit the exam papers. You, and your school/college, will be provided with full instructions prior to the exam day. If you have special circumstances that prevents you from doing so, please note this on your application form. 

All candidates for the Mathematics and Further Mathematics exam will be asked to answer on paper, scanned and emailed to scholarships@aber.ac.uk by your Exams Officer. 

You will sit TWO exams from the choice of subjects we offer (the choice of exam papers must be approved by the Department you have applied to study at).

Each exam lasts for an hour and a half and both exams need to be taken on the same day.

The exams are set and marked by our academic departments so they don’t follow any particular syllabus but they should be a similar standard to A-level exams. We do not offer marking schemes or feedback for exam papers.

BENEFIT:

Worth up to £3,000 plus an unconditional offer to study at the university

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: August 15, 2024

LOCATION: South Africa

The MSc in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence is a one-year structured master’s programme at Stellenbosch University, designed for students with a strong mathematical and computational background. It will equip you with the fundamentals of ML and AI, plus a suite of sophisticated techniques and concepts at the research forefront of these fields. Applications for 2025 are open!

ELIGIBILITY:

As a minimum requirement for admission, you must have one of the following qualifications by the time of enrolment:

an honours degree in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Mathematical Statistics;

a four-year Bachelor’s degree in Engineering;

an NQF level 8 qualification deemed equivalent to the above, in a field closely linked to ML and AI.

You should also have existing and demonstrable proficiency in Python or an equivalent programming language, and be comfortable with numerical linear algebra, vector calculus, basic probability theory and statistics. Though not strictly required, it is highly recommended that you should have already completed an introductory course on machine learning.

Due to capacity limitations, a selection committee will give final approval for admission. Preference may be given to students with higher marks and with preceding studies better aligned with the programme’s specialisation.

BENEFIT:

A small number of full scholarships available for students from Africa. If you complete an application for the programme before 15 August, you will also be considered for a scholarship. Successful applicants will be notified in September.
