This is a collection of guides and instructions for preparing and submitting the final year project deliverables. We in general refer to the project you are doing in your last year of study as final year project. This also includes the dissertation for the mater degrees.

Depending on your degree programme the requirements are slightly different. This wiki covers all final year projects at computer science, so please choose the correct main page from the list below, depending on the project module you are taking.

• Large One Term Individual Project 2013/14 for module CM3203;
• Large Two Term Individual Project 2013/14 for modules CM0343, CM3304;
• Small Two Term Individual Project 2013/14 for modules CM0300, CM0333, CM3303;
• Software Engineering Project for module CM3301 (contact FC Langbein for details for now);
• Masters Dissertation for Masters degree project modules CMT400, CMT636.

The links above contain links to all the relevant information for these modules.

The information here is expanded over time, so please check regularly for any updates (you can also subscribe to an RSS feed to keep up to date). Important updates will also be announced by e-mail, either via the COMSC student and staff e-mail lists or directly to your e-mail address of your PATS account. Some of these e-mails may be automated by the PATS2 bot, especially about missed or close deadlines.

We hope you will find this information to be of value in completing your project. If you have any comments, or wish to suggest good sources of advice that you have found, please let your project supervisor or the project coordinator know so that we can update these guidelines.

Project coordinators are
