MSc Project Success
The Department of Communications Systems are currently finalising their industrial projects (starting in April) for its 2005-06 intake of MSc students. This joint initiative with the KBC was successful in placing a number of students, resulting in the successful completion of projects.
Polykarpos Charizakis, for example, has successfully completed a 6-month project with Internet4Business as part of his MSc in September 2005. He helped in the creation of automated link popularity building, which involves retrieving information from a search engine and then creating and maintaining a database to store and manage the information.
Patrick Joleys, Director of Internet4Business, stated 'we are very pleased with the results you have achieved for us and will be integrating your work into our business soon'. Patrick was also impressed with the management of the project, including defining objectives of the work right at the start, regular progress updates during the course of the project and a demonstration of the completed work at the end of the project.
