Degree Project: Master of Science (one year) in Computing Science with specialization artificial intelligence 15 credits
About the course
The student practices their ability to specify, plan, perform, and present an independent work. Through their work, the student integrates previous knowledge and immerses themselves in at least one Computing Science topic in Artifical Intelligence. The result of the work is presented in English both orally and in writing.
The course is partitioned into two modules.
Module 1. Independent work (14 credits)
The student performs the degree project as an independent work, either within the scope of a research project at the university or a development project in industry. The work shall concern some form of problem solving and lead to the formation of new knowledge. Therefore, it must not only consist of routine programming. The work must lead to subject specialization in relation to some previously completed course on the advanced level and shall relate to current research. The specialization shall be within a Computing Science topic in Artificial Intelligence and be of relevance to the independent work.
Module 2. Presentation (1 credit)
The student presents their work in writing, in the form of a scientific report, and defends it orally, in the form of a
public seminar. The student will also dispute someone else's work.
