Learning outcomes

After passing the degree project course, you will be able to

  • apply standard methods of practice in industry, administration and academic environments regarding planning, conducting, reporting and evaluating larger independent design and investigation projects,
  • independently plan, conduct, report (orally and in writing), a design or investigation in the computer science area that is important for a problem-owner in industry, administration or academy, and motivate conclusions and design choices,
  • collect and systematize requirements and expectations on the project deliverables, and asses the reasonableness of these in light of available time and resources,
  • find, obtain, evaluate and compile information relevant for the project realization,
  • select a course of action and prepare, follow and adapt a plan for the project,
  • write reports in Swedish or English complying to established standards of design, language, style and content,
  • orally report project results with requirements on preparation, content, style and time used,
  • improve knowledge and skills in an area of computer science.

Course main content

The degree project must treat a problem within computer science. The problem must focus on questions from the field of computer science that are of interest to investigate and analyze. Projects often result in a prototype but very seldom in a finished product.

A detailed specification and a time schedule for the project must be made. A search for relevant literature in the field must be conducted and relevant literature must be studied as a foundation for the work. The work is presented in a written report and in an oral presentation.

Eligibility

Completed 15 of the ECTS credits in the program.

Literature

Decided individually.
