The Master's Thesis in Computer Science focuses on Interaction Design, Game Technologies, and Learning Technologies. This course is the core component of your master's degree program, spanning two semesters. It requires you to undertake independent scientific work, demonstrating your understanding of current research (state-of-the-art) and relevant theories and methods applicable to your chosen thesis topic. The work involves self-study of scientific articles and books under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. Depending on the thesis type, activities like case studies or empirical experiments may be included. Submissions are typically made at the end of each semester.
Curriculum
The Master's Thesis is divided over two semesters. In the first and second semesters of the master's program, students explore potential thesis topics and identify faculty supervisors. The third and fourth semesters are dedicated primarily to working on the master's thesis itself.
