| Prerequisites: | Successful completion of years 1 and 2 of the Computer Science undergraduate programme of study |
| Term: | 1 and 2 |

Content:
| Overview | There is no set syllabus: students identify their chosen project area and are allocated a supervisor who is a member of the academic staff, who provides support and guidance. Students are responsible for organising themselves and their work, with advice from their supervisor with whom they should meet on a regular basis, as agreed with the supervisor. The project begins in October
and runs in parallel with normal teaching during terms 1 and 2. The submission deadline is at the start of term 3 just prior to the exams. In addition to the April final report a Project Plan must be submitted in mid-November, outlining the project aims and objectives and providing a work
plan, and an Interim Report at the end of January, explaining what has been achieved so far and what it is planned to do during the
remainder of the project; these documents are prepared with advice from their supervisor. |
| Project Report | The main report documents the results of the project. The deadline for submission is 12 noon on the Friday of the first week of term 3. The project has a weight on 1 unit so represents one quarter of the student's final year work. |
