The topic of the scientific project can be related to any of the subjects offered by the Geomatics programme. The project must be supervised by one or more of the lecturers who participated in the Geomatics education. The project can be performed in cooperation with a company/institution, which provides a use case or a problem statement (but the work is always supervised by the scientific staff of the university).
The graduation work deliverables are: (1) a scientific report (a thesis); and (2) an oral presentation.
During the MSc thesis the student will show their knowledge, understanding and skills at an academic Master’s level with respect to independently planning and executing a research project in the field of Geomatics.
On completing the Graduation Project, the student is able to:
1. Demonstrate that they are capable to independently apply relevant theory and/or knowledge to research;
2. Formulate a theoretical, numerical and/or experimental framework and delineate a research problem such that it can be solved;
3. Interpret obtained results in a critical manner;
4. Explain the work performed in a structured report that incorporates verification of methods and tools and is written in correct English;
5. Communicate the work performed in a structured way through an oral presentation to a wider audience;
6. Demonstrate capacity to manage the project, both technically and time-wise, considering resources and methodology;
