Undertaking a project is a key component of nearly all computing/information systems degree programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

- writing proposals;
- surveying literature;
- project management;
- time management;
- managing risk;
- team working;

It is written for students for undergraduate students on degree courses in computing or information systems.
