CAPSTONE PROJECT
The Capstone Project is a mandatory requirement for Master’s students. It represents a conclusion of a student’s academic and intellectual experience. For Capstone, learners must apply their education to investigate a specific problem or idea within their area of specialization. The call to action is to identify a real-world problem and the use acquired skills and techniques to develop a solution that speaks to the problem. Students have the freedom to choose from various options when creating their Final Project, including research-focused or problem-solving-oriented tactics. The solutions presented are typically interactive and pragmatic, meaning they can be put into practice in their professional life or further research and study.
