Degree project
The purpose of this page is to provide some general information for all roles involved in thesis work at bachelor level. The guide is written for students in Computer Science at Linnaeus University.
A degree project is the last thing you do in your studies. In the project you work on a well-defined problem. The purpose is to make a more detailed and in-depth investigation of a topic that interests you. The project can be carried out at the university, or at an external company. You work on your project for 10 or 20 weeks, depending on your study pace, so it is important that you choose a topic that you find interesting!
