The capstone project has been designed to apply
knowledge into practice and to develop and
improve critical skills such as problem-solving and
collaboration skills. Students are matched with
research labs within the UCY community and with
industry partners to investigate pressing issues,
applying data science areas. Capstone projects aim
to give students some professional experience in a
real work environment and help enhance their soft
skills. These projects involve groups of roughly 3-4
students working in partnership.
The process is the following:
• A short description of projects are announced
to students.
• Students bid up to three projects taking into
account the fields of their interest or research.
• The data science directors make the final
assignment of projects to students. The projects
are under the supervision of a member of the
Programme’s academic staff.
• Specific learning outcomes are stipulated in a
learning agreement between the student, the
supervisor and the company.
• The student keeps a log file of his/her work and
at the end writes a progress report (6000 words).
• The company is obliged to monitor the progress
of the students and to provide relevant
mentorship.
Final assessment is carried out by the company and
the supervisor.
