ELIGIBILITY
The 1st year AUST courses are taught at the Advanced Undergraduate and Graduate Level. This means that for students to be able to follow and benefit from the courses, they should have adequate preparation in Mathematics and the Basic Engineering Sciences prior to starting this program. Requirements for admission are as follow:
an honours B.Sc, degree in Mathematics, Computational Sciences, Engineering or Science from a recognized university with a minimum of Second Class Upper or a GPA of at least 3.5. Candidates from francophone countries should have a “Maitrise” degree mention B and be proficient in English.
In addition, below are the specific perequisites for each program:
PURE AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS
Analysis / Advanced Calculus / Linear Algebra / Topology / ODE and Complex Analysis taken at undergraduate level.
COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
In addition to good preparatory Mathematics courses, students are expected to have knowledge of a modern programming language (e.g. Java, C, C++, and Computer Operating Systems).
THEORETICAL PHYSICS
Mathematics knowledge at least equivalent to courses in Calculus, Advanced Calculus (Vector Analysis, Multivariable Calculus), Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Students are also expected to have taken courses at an intermediate level in Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics.
