Students will conduct an individual research project under the close supervision of one or more academic staff. Projects will, at least in part, require the application of theoretical or experimental research techniques. In particular, students will be expected to conduct and present a survey of the literature relevant to the research topic.
Students will prepare a thesis reporting on the research project and its outcomes. They will also be expectedto present a poster and a short seminar describing their work. The learning objectives and project overview will be specified at the outset using the Research Schoool of of Computer Science form 'Independent Study Contract'.

- Prepare and present a short technical seminar.
- Write a literature survey.
- Undertake and complete a research project under supervision.
- Write a thesis describing the results of research work.
- Gain advanced knowledge and skills in thier specific project area, as specified in their Independent Study Contract'.
