• To complete the MSc degree you must undertake a major individual project worth 60 credits, which will integrate subject knowledge and skills that you acquire during the MSc programme
• The project work will be undertaken under the supervision of an academic member of staff. You also have the possibility to undertake their project at another university, research institute or industrial partner. This option must be agreed in advance with the programme coordinator.
• The major individual project is an important part of your MSc where you can apply your newly learned skills and show to future employers that you have been working on cutting edge projects relevant to the industry.
• You may choose your MSc project topic in consultation with academic staff or from a list of topics suggested by academic staff. Projects are normally allocated in January.
