Graduation

Final Examination for the Degree Award

The Master’s Degree in Computer Science is awarded upon successful completion of a final examination consisting of the discussion of a thesis with original content, prepared by the student under the supervision of one or more supervisors.

The thesis must address an innovative topic or project and be carried out independently. It must also document the innovative results achieved, as well as relate the work undertaken to the current state of knowledge in the field of computer science and information technologies.

Working on the thesis enables the graduate to acquire additional skills and knowledge that will support adequate integration into the professional world and, if desired, the continuation of studies in a doctoral program.

A thesis topic and supervisor may be identified either by directly contacting faculty members in the relevant area of interest or by consulting the following list (accessible with Alice credentials):
