Access more honours and masters subjects online
Every year, AMSI Member universities around Australia broadcast Honours and Masters subjects over the Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) Network, enabling students, early-career researchers, industry professionals and academics to participate virtually.
Students
Want to take honours or masters subjects not available at your university or expand your current knowledge?
- Join lecturers and students in interactive videoconference classes in the mathematical sciences
- Open to students from Australian and New Zealand universities
- Third-year undergraduate and PhD students are welcome to enrol
- Enrolment is free for students from AMSI Member Universities and $500 for participants from a non-member university
- Subjects may be taken for credit with the permission of your university (discuss with your honours/masters coordinator)
Read the subject guides and take the pre-enrolment quizzes below to find out about the level of foundational knowledge required for each subject.
Lecturers
Interested in teaching honours or masters subjects over the AMSI ACE Network?
We’re seeking proposals for staple and varietal subjects. Staple subjects cover topics identified as priorities, and are intended to run on a yearly recurring basis. There is no requirement that they be offered by the same institution each year. Varietal subjects cover topics of interest to the community, and you’re welcome to nominate your own.
In recognition of the hard work that goes into producing quality honours and masters subjects, AMSI will provide lecturer payments of $1500 (subject to external students being enrolled post-census date, allocated to the most highly prioritised offerings).
Convenors
Get your department and students involved in the AMSI ACE Network today!
- Encourage your lecturers to open their honours and masters subjects to external students over the AMSI ACE Network
- Promote the AMSI ACE subjects to your students and encourage them to enrol
- Refer to the subject guides when determining if your students can sit an ACE subject/s for credit towards their degree
2023 Subject Timetable
Core subjects are offered on a continuing basis. Topics covered are mathematical coding, numerical analysis, statistical consulting, complex analysis, mathematical biology & optimisation.
