Project Weeks 2010/2011

  • For all Computer Science students, and for all Computer Science modules, there will be a Project Week in each of the Autumn and Spring terms.
  • During a Project Week usually no scheduled teaching activity takes place; there are no coursework deadlines within a Project Week
  • Instead, activities augmentary to the curriculum are offered. (Note that, due to the variety of timetabling constraints involved, there are no activities arranged specifically for Applied Computing students, and the CS MSc one-week project in Spring term is compulsory).
  • Below are the details for this year; timetables for specific activities will be published near the time:

(Week dates are listed on the Kent website)
