Prerequisites: An excellent academic record and departmental approval required.

Assessment: 100% on course assessment - project report.

Description: The project consists of supervised independent research or development work on a topic related to Computer Science.

Enrolment: To enrol in this programme you are required to seek a staff member to supervise your project. You are also required to complete the Supervisor Confirmation form and have it signed off by the Computer Science BSc(Hons)/Project Coordinator - Prof Jim Warren (jim@cs.auckland.ac.nz) Note, Dr Marc Vinyals is Deputy Project Coordinator and can be contacted if Prof Warren is unavailable.

How to find a supervisor:
Check out the Computer Science research pages

Email your prospective supervisor with the following information:

• Why you are contacting them
• A copy of your academic transcript
• A proposed area of interest
• Your ID number

Note that it is entirely at the discretion of a staff member to take on supervision of a 380 project student. Ideally, the agreed topic should be one of mutual interest and a good fit to the supervisor's research agenda.

When you have agreed a topic with your potential supervisor, complete the Supervisor Confirmation form as linked above according to its instructions
