You'll gain real life experience
In their final year,all students undertake a major project. Projects are drawn from companies or institutions outside the University and are treated as a consulting assignment.
The students are evaluated based on their ability to achieve an innovative solution by drawing upon the analytical skills developed throughout their program of studies. They must also, of course, satisfy the practical requirements of the outside client.
