Final Examination for the Degree Award<\/h3>\n

The Master\u2019s Degree in Computer Science<\/strong> is awarded upon successful completion of a final examination<\/strong> consisting of the discussion of a thesis with original content<\/em>, prepared by the student under the supervision of one or more supervisors.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In order to graduate, you must complete both your thesis (choose a supervisor, develop your work, write your thesis and prepare for the defence) and the administrative procedures for graduation (meet deadlines, submit your graduation application and complete all the required formalities). See the dedicated pages for details.<\/p>\n
