Master's Thesis
2020/2021
Prerequisite/Recommended prerequisite for participation in the module
The module adds to knowledge obtained during the project and course modules from previous semestersContent, progress and pedagogy of the module
PURPOSE
That the student can formulate, analyze and contribute to solving a
current research problem in computer science independently,
systematically and critically through the application of scientific
theory and method
REASON
University programs are research-based programs; all students must
obtain in-depth knowledge of the current research problem and
methods in the master's program, so that this insight can be
used to solve problems in
research
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- document in-depth knowledge and overview of a current problem in computer science research and its possible solutions
Skills
- be able to reason about and with the concepts and techniques concerned
- be able to apply and create theory courses in the subject area in connection with the formulation and analysis and solution of a problem in computer science research
- be able to convey a current computer science problem, a contribution to its solution and the related conceptual apparatus within the framework of the research area
Competences
- be able to use the concepts and reasoning in the subject area to formulate, analyze and contribute to solving a problem within a current problem in computer science research
Type of instruction
