MSc Individual Project (954G5JN)

60 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

The Individual Project gives you the opportunity to study an area in depth. This can be something you’ve already explored in an earlier module, or an individual line of study that interests you and fits your degree course.

You’ll build a substantial system under the supervision of experienced faculty. This will be on a research topic of your choice. It may involve:

• a substantial working computer program

• a theoretical study

• a dissertation showing full understanding of the issues

• a critical awareness of current knowledge in the area.

The project is designed to encourage creative thinking. It also exposes you to:

• project management

• documentation

• communication.

You’ll be expected to show initiative and take personal responsibility while working on the project.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 600 hours of work. This breaks down into about 600 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
