The actual project topics will be discussed with the supervisor. The topic is either offered by the supervisor or defined by supervisor and student in a discussion. 

The project can be done as individual project or as a group project. There is the possibility to link this project with the "Project in Computer Science 2".

In general, students are working on their project topic in an independent way under guidance by a supervisor. The guidance by the supervisor can be done, e.g., in regular meetings or by e-mail.
