Master's Thesis

2023/2024

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
