Every year, AMSI Member institutions around Australia broadcast mathematical seminars, short courses and Honours and Masters subjects over the Advanced Collaborative Environment (ACE) Network, enabling students and academics to participate remotely by videoconference.
Do you want to take honours or masters subjects not available at your university or expand your current knowledge? You can with AMSI’s ACE Network.
Join lecturers and students in interactive videoconference classes in the mathematical sciences. ACE subjects are open to students from Australian and New Zealand universities.
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 institution.
Third-year undergraduate and PhD students are welcome to enrol.
Click on the pre-enrolment quizzes below to find out more about the level of foundational knowledge required for each subject.
If you have any questions, please email ace-network@amsi.org.au.
Interested in teaching over the AMSI ACE Network? EOIs for 2023 will open in late 2022!
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 programs, AMSI will provide lecturer payments of $1500 for selected subjects every year (subject to external students being enrolled post-census date, allocated to the most highly prioritised offerings).
Get your department and students involved in the ACE Network today!
Reach a wide audience by encouraging your lecturers to broadcast seminars, short courses and Honours and Masters subjects over the ACE Network.
Promote the ACE Network to your students, refer a lecturer or hold a one-off seminar/short course.
Core subjects are offered on a continuing basis. Topics covered are mathematical coding, numerical analysis, statistical consulting, complex analysis, mathematical biology & optimisation.
