Objective of the Discipline – to demonstrate the student’s ability to utilise acquired competencies and learning outcomes; to logically present views on the research topic based on modern scientific methods, draw substantiated conclusions, and formulate specific proposals and recommendations for solving the task at hand. The final qualification thesis is a mandatory component of the educational programme for training specialists at the second (master’s) level of higher education in the field of study 12 "Information Technology," specialty 122 "Computer Science," within the educational and scientific programme "Informatics." The qualification thesis should include theoretical, system-technical, or experimental research on one of the current issues of specialty 122 "Computer Science." The completion of the final qualification thesis in the 3rd and 4th semesters involves 300 hours (10 ECTS credits); of these: 3rd semester – 180 hours (6 ECTS credits), 4th semester – 120 hours (4 ECTS credits). The discipline culminates in the defence of the final qualification thesis.
