Degree Project: Master of Science (two years) in Computing Science (specialization Robotics and control) 30 credits

About the course

The course includes a master's degree project in the main field of Computing Science with a specialization in Robotics and Control and is compulsory in the Master's Programme in Robotics and Control.

During the course, the student will develop their ability to specify, plan, accomplish, and present an individual project. The student should apply their knowledge from previous education in the project work and deepen their knowledge in at least one specific area of Computing Science. The work provides contact with research and development in the subject. The results are presented both orally and in writing.

Module 1. Independent work (28 ECTS)
The individual project work should be carried out within a research project at the university or within a development project in industry. The project work must consist of problem solving in a broad sense and lead to a deeper understanding of the subject. The project must not consist of only routine programming. The in-depth study should relate the student’s work to existing scientific results and be documented together with the rest of the project. The project is presented in a scientific report.

Module 2. Presentation (2 ECTS)
The project is presented orally in a public seminar with an opponent. The student should prepare and conduct an opposition of another student’s project.
