Objectives

The purpose of the course is to extend and deepen students' knowledge, skills and understanding within the area of computer science. The course work will be performed on advanced level, with a significant theoretical and practical depth.

Learning outcomes

After the completion of the course the students will be able to:
- analyze complex problems within computer science
- specify requirements for complex systems
- describe which advance methods and skills are necessary to solve the problem
- apply advances methods, processes and standards within chosen project area
- find related problems and solutions and propose own solutions
- present the solution both in a technical report document and orally at a seminar
The course will also prepare students to perform a master thesis work on an advanced level.

Course content

The course will cover different areas within computer science and the course content can vary between course instances. The project course is organized together with the teacher and the students, giving a possibility for students to deepen their knowledge in a specific area which is relevant for their education.

Tuition

Lectures, guest lectures, seminars, and individual supervised project work.

Examination

Seminar (SEM1), 7.5 credits, marks Pass (G)

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
