DESCRIPTION

The aim of this unit is to give students some experience in individual research. This unit is restricted to those who are undertaking a major in Computing, and for whom a suitable project and supervisor are available. Enrolment is at the discretion of the Head of School. Students who wish to enrol must contact the Head of School, so that they can be matched with a project and supervisor. The unit consists of a 1-semester long independent research project in Computing. The unit will involve the equivalent of 6 hours per week for 13 weeks spent in planning, conducting and reporting on a research project in an area negotiated between the student and the supervising academic staff. Projects will generally be restricted to those offered by staff although other projects may be considered subject to prior agreement between the student, supervisor, and Head of School. Students can undertake this unit in either semester, but it must be completed within that semester.
