This is a project course for the MSc in Data Science. Students will be given a data science project, which will be supervised by one member of staff. Students will conduct research on that topic in an independent manner.
Students will have to deliver a presentation halfway through the project and hand in a report about the results at the end of the project. This will be followed by an oral examination of the submitted report.
