| Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In the final semester, from May to August, students work on a practicum or major project of a practical nature. Here, the students individually or in small teams develop prototype secure systems to solve a real-world problem or analyse forensic approaches and propose improvements. The projects, which may be sponsored by external clients or involve some of the students' or staff's own ideas, typically require feasibility studies followed by creation of a project plan, and development of a software application or a rigorous theoretical analysis. This also allows students to work on projects for external or funding organisations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
