Opportunity description
AIMS is pleased to announce that applications for the Master’s & Co-operative Master’s Program are now open at its five centres of excellence for the 2019/2020 Academic year.
The 18-month program takes a work-integrated learning approach by combining course work with practical industry experience. This allows students to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world problems while gaining work experience in an industrial environment.

The Co-operative Master’s program includes two work placements of three and four months throughout the regular coursework.
