| Summary | This course comprises the MSc dissertation research project. The project begins in May shortly after the spring exam diet. |
| Course description |
Each project is guided by two academic supervisors (first and second) and may be further advised by an industrial representative. Students are assigned a topic of the project according to their training needs and career aspirations, after the discussion of the available projects with the programme director. The student is expected to formulate a research programme outline, objectives and expected outcomes by mid- June. At the end of July a poster conference is organized for all MSc students, staff and industrial representatives involved. The final thesis must be submitted by the specified deadline at the end of August.
