Learning outcomes

After the course, the student should be able to

  • show a deep knowledge within the chosen field of computational science

  • search, interpret and compile relevant scientific literature

  • delimit a scientific problem, plan a scientific study, choose appropriate methods, carry out the study, interpret and evaluate the results and, if applicable, generate falsifiable a hypotheses to explain the observations

  • present the results in correct language for different target groups both in scientific and in popular form

      • Content

      An independent project is carried out, where the knowledge from earlier completed courses are applied. The project is guided by a supervisor in close connection to ongoing projects in research or development.

      To achieve the objectives, the student shall

      • under supervision delimit a scientific problem, investigate it, interpret and evaluate the results and present the project in oral and written form
      • search, evaluate and compile information relevant for the chosen problem
      • actively participate in seminars and other activities at the department where the project is carried out

      Instruction

      The teaching is devised individually dependent on the direction of the project. Supervision is provided individually or in group.

      Assessment

      To pass, a passed oral and written presentation of the degree project at a seminar is required. The written presentation should consist of a scientific report, a popular summary and a summary in English.
