AMSI4001: AMSI Summer School
2024 unit information
The Australia-wide community in the Mathematical Sciences offers rich intellectual resources beyond what is available at the University of Sydney alone. This unit will enable you to access some of those resources by taking a course at the annual Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) Summer School, and in this way engage with staff and other students from all over the country. This annual residential summer school provides a range of courses taught by eminient researchers from across Australia for honours and postgraduate students. You will study an area of Mathematics of Statistics beyond what is typically available at the University of Sydney. You will also meet students from other universities, learn about Mathematical topics of general interest through public lectures and lectures especially designed for summer School participants, and take part in a career information event. By doing this unit, you will develop expertise in a specialist area of Mathematics and Statistics at an advanced level, broaden your horizons to develop a deeper understanding of the role of the Mathematical Sciences beyond the university sector, and begin to form a network of peers across Australia.

Important enrolment information
Departmental permission requirements
If you see the ‘Departmental Permission’ tag below a session, it means you need faculty or school approval to enrol. This may be because it’s an advanced unit, clinical placement, offshore unit, internship or there are limited places available.
You will be prompted to apply for departmental permission when you select this unit in Sydney Student.
Read our information on departmental permission.
Additional advice
This unit has been designed to enable University of Sydney students to continue to take advantage of the premier Mathematics and Statistics summer school held in Australia. The University of Queensland and Melbourne already offer similar shell units to their honours and masters students respectively.
