Students who successfully complete the unit will be able to: Work independently on a Computer Science related project for which they have defined the objectives and rationale.
Apply knowledge about an area to a specific problem, which may be engineering, analytical, academic or applied in nature.
Effectively communicate their conclusions in terms of thei motivation, methodology, results and relation existing work.
The supervision of every MSc project is carried out by a member of academic staff, sometimes with the assistance of a research associate (RA) or doctoral student (PhD). All students are expected meet regularly (at least fortnightly) with their supervisor (or assistant supervisor) throughout the Research Skills and Individual Project units. The allocation of students to supervisors and topics takes place during a period of staff/student interviews (to help ensure students get projects suitable for the abilities and ambitions). This happens in the first two weeks of the Research Skills unit (so your subsequent courseworks are tailored to your project). Although supervisors play an important role in proposing an initial set of potential project ideas, helping students turn those ideas into viable proposals (in the Research Skills), guiding the students to actually do the required work (in the Individual Project), and suggesting how the results can best be written up (for the final thesis), the entire project is ultimately the responsibility of the student.
