This course is only available upon request and availability of teaching staff. Sometimes Computational Science researchers or lecturers offer small projects, which can be counted towards this Individual Project course. The Individual Project should include modelling and simulation. It cannot re-use the results or reports from any previous courses or internships. Project duration and workload should be equivalent to a 6 EC course (168 working hours). It is also possible to do a shorter project equivalent to a 3 EC course.
In order to start the Individual Project, the student should first find an Examiner who will define, supervise and grade the project. A list of examiners can be found on Datanose https://datanose.nl/#program[MSc%20CLSJD]/examiners. The student then writes a one-page project proposal, describing the research question, approach, deliverables, and timeline. The Examiner should approve this proposal and sign the proposal page. A signed proposal PDF file should be sent for approval to the Examinations Board, and then submitted on Canvas.
After completion of the Project, the student submits the project report on Canvas, along with the assessment by the Examiner. The evaluation criteria should follow the Master's Thesis assessment criteria, which can be found in the Thesis Manual (see course "Master Thesis Computational Science", course manual, link to the "thesis manual").
