Choosing a Project
Source: https://projects.scss.tcd.ie/information-for-students/choosing-a-project/ Parent: https://projects.scss.tcd.ie
When to choose a project
Students should select a final-year project before the end of the fourth week of Semester 1. Where students have not selected a project by the deadline, a project supervisor will be allocated to them in consultation with the relevant course director, who is out of the supervisors who have not yet reached their supervision limits. The chosen supervisor will assign the student a project or help them specify a project in an area selected by the supervisor.
How to choose a project
Students may either
- Select a project from the list of project proposals put forward by the lecturing staff or
- Alternatively, if you have a project proposal of your own and if you are having trouble finding an appropriate supervisor, then contact your course director:
| MSc Computer Science | Prof. Doug Leith |
| MSc Statistics and Sustainability | Prof. Arthur White |
| MCS / BA (Mod) Integrated Computer Science | Prof. Yvette Graham |
| BA (Mod) Computer Science Joint Honors (Business, Economics, Geography and Linguistics) | Prof. Nina Bresnihan |
| BA (Mod) in Computer Science, Linguistics, and Language | Prof. Tim Fernando |
| BA (Mod) Management Science and Information Systems Studies | Prof. Alessio Benavoli |
| All BAI Streams | Prof. Andrew Butterfield |
| Statistics Minor | Prof. Athanasios (Nasos) Georgiadis |
In either case, students must get the agreement of a supervisor before they are considered to have selected a project. Supervisors may require a meeting with the student to discuss the project before accepting a supervision request. Once you have agreed on a project with your supervisor, you should complete the supervision form (the link was sent to you by email).
Students may only select a single project, but they may change their minds and select an alternative project before the end of the fourth week of Semester 1. However, if students select a new project, they must notify the old and new supervisors that their previous project will be canceled.
Choosing a project supervisor
Students should note that each supervisor will only take a limited number of students. If you find the information is incorrect, please send details to Final.Year.Project.Coordinator@local.scss.tcd.ie
Students should also note that there are only a limited number of supervisors in any area. Hence students are not guaranteed a project in their area of choice.
