Degree Project: Master of Science (two years) in Computing Science (specialization Artificial Intelligence)

Education facts

Code: 5DV216

The student practices their ability to specify, plan, perform, and present an independent work that contributes to the formation of knowledge. Through their work, the student integrates previous knowledge and immerses themselves in at least one Computing Science topic in Artifical Intelligence. The result of the work is presented in English both orally and in writing. The course is partitioned into two modules. **Module 1. Independent work (28 credits)** The student performs the degree project as an independent work, either within the scope of a research project at the university or a development project in industry. The work shall concern some form of problem solving and lead to the formation of new knowledge. Therefore, it must not only consist of routine programming. The work must lead to subject specialization in relation to some previously completed course on the advanced level. The specialization shall be within a Computing Science topic in Artificial Intelligence and be of relevance to the independent work. **Module 2. Presentation (2 credits)** The student presents their work in writing, in the form of a scientific report, and defends it orally, in the form of a public seminar. The student will also dispute someone else's work.
