Aims
To develop the student's ability to plan, execute and report in depth on a major research investigation related to Computer Science area. This work enables students to display all of the skills learnt on the programme and give the opportunity to demonstrate creativity, initiative, ingenuity and communication in an academic context. This may be carried out, where appropriate, in conjunction with industry.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Synthesize skills and techniques taught in the programme, this then should be used to research the area related to Computer Science topics in which the investigation takes place using independent study.
2.
Discuss and critically evaluate a selected area of research within the domain of Computer Science, and implement a reliable solution using their previous experience and skills gained during the programme and identify relevant Legal, Social, Ethical and Professional Issues associated with the project.
3.
Structure and write a major dissertation at this level.
4.
Apply the conventions of academic research dissemination to personal research.
