Objectives

The objective of the course is to give students knowledge and skills for performing an application project in the field of theoretical informatics and related areas. The students shall get an understanding of how to conduct applied projects in addressing specific issues related to theoretical informatics within one of the teams.

Outcomes

On successful completion of this course, the students will have learned:

  • How to use the theoretical approach in applied research.
  • To work and interact with the supervisor, other researchers, and members of the team.
  • To work independently under the guidance of a supervisor to fulfill an open project.

Brief description of content

In this course, the student will gain knowledge about the advancement in the research related to theoretical informatics and experience by applying the knowledge to a concrete real-life problem. In addition, they will have the choice to work in an environment where they can grasp knowledge from other members of the team. The topics are related to theoretical informatics and they are agreed upon with a supervisor.

Target group

The course is targeted towards master’s students in computer science. The prerequisites depend on the topic chosen and have to be discussed with the supervisor
