The thesis must focus on an innovative topic or project and be carried out independently. It must also document the innovative results achieved and highlight the connections between the work carried out and the current state of knowledge in the field of computer science and information technologies. The thesis work enables Master\u2019s graduates to acquire further knowledge and skills that support both their integration into the job market and, potentially, the continuation of their academic career through a PhD programme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>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).
