Master thesis projects

Conducting a Thesis Project

For students participating in the TU Delft computer science and embedded systems master’s programs we have several openings for MSc projects.

All MSc projects are aligned with our research. They often are connected to one of our ongoing research projects, but we also frequently use MSc projects to explore new research directions. Projects can be conducted at:

• TU Delft in our own research labs, in close collaboration with our postdocs and PhD students
• Industry (as part of an internship), usually with companies (in The Netherlands or abroad) with which we have an ongoing research collaboration (e.g. ING, SIG, Adyen, ATOS, XWiki, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Infotron, …)
• Other (international) universities – we have a rich network of academic friends around the world.

SERG Supervisors

You can make an appointment with one of the SERG group members to see what projects are currently open, or you can propose your own project, provided there is a clear connection with the research we conduct at our labs. You can contact the following persons for more information:

Composing your Study Program

If you plan to conduct your MSc project at SERG, you will need to include at least two of the CS MSc courses SERG teaches in your IEP (Individual Exam Program). We strongly recommend you to follow our software architecture and software analytics courses. Besides our own software engineering related courses, when choosing the electives in your program you can consider including courses in such areas as machine learning, data science, compiler construction, distributed systems, or security.

Optionally, you can start your research with a 7-8 week literature survey (IN4306, 10EC). This assignment is concluded with a report containing an overview of the state-of-the-art in a particular branch of research.
