The final year project is the culmination of the degree. It gives students a chance to demonstrate all they have learned. This project is very different from laboratories report and modules. Although students are supervised, the responsibility is on the student to define the problem boundaries, to investigate possible solutions, and to present the results in writing, verbally and in action. Apart from an initial briefing session there are no formal lectures to attend. Teaching consists of regular individual or small group meetings to discuss progress. For assessment, students submit draft of their progress and draft of thesis, and present the findings of their work. Students also being ask to write a technical paper based on their findings.

To be successful, students need to plan, estimate and manage their time and energy. These pages explain what is expected of both students and supervisors, and how projects will be assessed.

GOOD LUCK !!
