Course Description

Consists of a supervised project which provides experience of investigating a real problem in computing science, or a computing application/technology.

Students will systematically apply knowledge and skills gained earlier in their degree programme and seek to go even further through critical assessment of concepts and ideas learned and/or identified through personal research of scholarly and professional literature.

Students will communicate their work and present the results obtained accurately and reliably by means of the project deliverables.

Managing the project will require the exercise of personal responsibility and initiative. This is an integral part of the investigation.
