Qualifications
At the conclusion of the thesis, the student should be able to:

  • Make a scientific overview of the knowledge from an area of computer science.
  • Put into perspective problems arising in a selected topic, with the help of computer science  methodology, reasoning and technical terms. 
  • Independently acquire and further develop computer science knowledge within a selected area.
  • Create new variations of the learnt methods, as needed for specific problems.
  • Appropriately structure and manage execution of the project and generate outcomes commensurate with the available time.
Expected learning outcome
At the conclusion of the thesis, the student should be able to:
  • Formulate problems at the current research level in computer science. 
  • Plan, analyze and apply methods from computer science to solving the stated problems.
  • Present the obtained knowledge and insight in a precise and intelligible language – in both oral and written form.
Subject overview
The project usually takes its point of departure from a scientific paper or a few such papers published within an area of computer sicence.

Literature
