The Project Selection Brochure 2012
From the Project Selection Brochure 2009:

Introduction

Swansea Computer Science Department states as its Educational Aim No 4 "The ability to plan and accomplish a substantial project". The final year project is your chance to live up to these expectations.

The final year project is your chance to study a Computer Science subject of your own choice. To do something that always has interested you, however, never appeared on the Swansea syllabus. After your studies, your project most probably will become your "distinctive feature". Every job interview will include the request: please tell me about your final year project.

In terms of learning skill, what you will gain is experience in project management - within your project you will be your own manager. You will learn how to make good presentations (a talk in Gregynog, a poster at the Project Demonstration Fair), how to write a project proposal or a project report, and you will gain experience in self-organized studies. In summary: step by step you will grow out of a taught university programme and become a computer scientist in your own right.
