  1. BSc Final Year Projects An Overview

  2. It’s very, very important! • Worth 40 credits – that’s one third of the whole final year! • Worth even more than that really … • It’s used to determine borderline awards • Nobody gets a good degree with a poor project • Employers often consider project marks above all else • More people fail their degree because they fail their project than any other module … by a mile! • To pass needs time – lots of time – and you need to start now

  3. What’s the project NOT? • What is it NOT?...... • It’s NOT like any project you may have done on some other course • It’s NOT just like a module assignment - only bigger • If you are an overseas student, it’s NOT like any project you may have done at home • It’s not easy • It’s not quick

  4. What IS the project then? It’s a demonstration that........ • You can analyse a problem • You can find and critically review what others have achieved in that area • You can produce and justify a solution to the problem using all the skills you have acquired on the course • You can critically analyse your solution and your own performance • You can manage your time • You can work bloody hard!

  5. How do I pass? • EASY! • Well, no – not ‘easy’, more like ‘simple’ • You read and understand the specification – then you deliver what is required • You need to put in around 400 hours of work • You will have a personal supervisor to help you • I will help you • There will be lots of information on Moodle • Read it! (Duh!)

  6. How do I fail? • REALLY EASY! • Do nothing • Do nothing until it’s too late • Leave it till next month • Think of it as just another assignment • Ignore your personal supervisor • Ignore me Your degree!

  7. What do I need to do next? • You need to decide on a Project Proposal • You may have an idea already or there are loads of suggestions on Moodle • Talk to staff members who specialize in areas you are interested in – ask if they are prepared to supervise you • You must submit your Proposal Form through Moodle by Friday 25th October

  8. And that’s about it for now … More guidance to follow next week and thereafter … Good Luck!
