Aspire to do something that'll teach you a lot and will impress the
marker with how much you've learned.

Believe me, what you produce for a dissertation might seem great while
you're doing it, but, in a year's time, it'll seem well below your
capabilities. You might stop working at the end of the year, but your
brain will keep working subconsciously on the problem.

By all means get ideas from the list and do something interesting.
But be prepared to throw your work all away and start again when the
course has ended,
