AUST at a glance

  • 4 faculties and 17 departments are in UniDraft's catalog for AUST, the largest being School of Engineering with 6 departments.
  • No AUST-specific formatting is on file yet, so documents start from the general Nigerian tertiary baseline (Times New Roman 12pt, 1.5 spacing, APA) and adopt your department's and supervisor's instructions as you supply them.
  • Faculties covered: School of Administration, Business and Management Sciences, School of Computing and Information Technology, School of Engineering, School of Science and Science Education.
  • Official website: aust.edu.ng. Check it, or your department, for the current handbook.

What your department type means for your AUST report

These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for AUST. They are not AUST rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.

Engineering

6 departments listed: Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and others.

Engineering projects typically centre on design, construction or analysis, backed by calculations, drawings or test results. Whether SIWES is compulsory depends on your programme and institution, so confirm it with your SIWES unit; logbook entries should record specific tasks, equipment, measurements and safety practice.

Engineering departments often prefer a numbered style such as IEEE, but check your own department's guideline. Related reading: engineering SIWES logbook examples and the civil engineering SIWES report guide and the electrical and electronic engineering SIWES report guide.

Natural and physical sciences

5 departments listed: Applied Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Pure and Applied Mathematics, Space Physics and others.

Science projects are usually laboratory, field or survey studies that report methods, results tables and statistics. Formulas, units and species names need careful formatting, and the results chapter must match what your methodology says you did.

APA is common in many science departments, but some follow another style, so confirm yours. Related reading: formatting chemical formulas and species names and choosing a statistical test.

Computing and information technology

4 departments listed: Computer Science, Management of Information Technology, Software Engineering, Geoinformatics and GIS.

Projects here usually build and evaluate something, such as a system, application or model, documented through requirements, design, implementation and testing. In SIWES logbooks, name the actual tools, systems and tasks you worked on.

Some computing departments use IEEE and others APA, so confirm which yours requires before you format any citation. Related reading: SIWES logbook examples for computer science and how to write a final year project, step by step.

Management and social sciences

2 departments listed: Accounting, Business Administration.

Projects in these departments are usually survey-based studies, so the questionnaire, the sample size and the choice of statistical test become the parts supervisors examine most closely.

APA is the most common style in management and social science departments. Related reading: the accounting and business SIWES report guide and how to design a questionnaire.

Frequently asked questions

What format does AUST require for a final year project?

AUST's exact department-level format isn't in our catalog yet, so the specifics above are the general Nigerian tertiary-institution convention (Times New Roman 12pt, 1.5 spacing, APA references). UniDraft still applies your supervisor's and department's specific instructions when you write with us.

What should AUST students in engineering expect from a project?

Engineering projects typically centre on design, construction or analysis, backed by calculations, drawings or test results. Whether SIWES is compulsory depends on your programme and institution, so confirm it with your SIWES unit; logbook entries should record specific tasks, equipment, measurements and safety practice. Engineering departments often prefer a numbered style such as IEEE, but check your own department's guideline. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a AUST rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for AUST?

Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the AUST SIWES guide for report-specific structure.

Is this list of faculties and departments official?

This list reflects 17 departments across 4 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for AUST, used to route your document to the right department-level rules. If your department is missing or misspelled, you can still enter it by hand when you start a document.

How does UniDraft know my supervisor's specific instructions?

You tell it. Supervisor and department instructions always take priority over the university-wide baseline shown above -- UniDraft layers your specific rules on top before generating anything.
