Master's Thesis
2022/2023
Content, 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
