ACADEMIC CONTENT
Overall objective

The project work is problem-oriented and must develop the student's skills in applying theories and methods within a defined academic computer science topic. The project work involves a self-chosen problem in relation to the design and implementation of an IT application in a complex context. The project gives students the opportunity to describe and reflect upon independently completed work dealing with a complex research question.
