Expand your mathematical world
AMSI Summer School is an annual national training and networking event for honours and postgraduate students in the mathematical sciences and related disciplines, early career researchers and industry professionals looking to upskill.
Celebrating its 23rd year, Summer School 2025 will be hosted by The University of Sydney from 7 – 31 January (virtual participation also available). An informal welcome function for participants will be held late afternoon on Monday 6 January.
Connect with peers, researchers and potential future employers while developing your mathematical skills. You can even take a subject for credit!
Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend in person to maximise their experience, however, can opt to participate online. Please note, while AMSI and The University of Sydney will endeavour to provide the best experience possible for virtual participants, not all elements of the program will be available remotely, and some online functions may be limited.

Program
The AMSI Summer School 2025 program offers eight carefully selected subjects taught by expert lecturers from across Australia. Participants can study one or two subjects, and with permission from their home university, students can use an AMSI Summer School subject to gain credit towards their degree.
Several social and networking events, a special three-part lecture series on The Poincaré Conjecture, participants talks, and a Careers Day will be held throughout the four weeks to complement the academic program.
