DescriptionThis module exists to allow particularly strong students to study, at their own initiative, material that is outside what can be found in other Level M modules that are available in the School of Computer Science. Learning is by self-managed study under the direction of a supervisor (a member of the academic staff of the School). The topic for a particular student is by negotiation between the student and supervisor early in the semester.
