Final Year Project

The final year project can be conducted under one of the two topics as micro or macro. Though this will be done in the final year, the project proposal for the chosen problem statement should be submitted beforehand during the 2nd year of the degree program.

The whole documentation of the final year project includes three main sections
  • the project proposal
  • project documentation
  • project plan (33 weeks)
Three main features of the project should be,
  • Feasible
  • Useful
  • Balanced
The aims and objectives of the project should be clear and precise and it should be said in 3-5 points at the beginning of the documentation.

There are some main points which should be included in the project proposal:
  • Area of study
  • Objectives
  • Describe intended methodology
  • Possible outcomes
  • Gantt chart
The two main questions which should be answered when conducting the literature review for the proposal would be :
  • What is the academic challenge?
  • What is the technical challenge?
As for the final year documentation a good research would comprise of 25-40 references with a whole documentation limiting to 20000 words (200 pages) maximum.
