What your department type means for your BAUK report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for BAUK. They are not BAUK rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Management and social sciences
8 departments listed: Accounting, Business Administration, Criminology & Security Studies, Economics and others.
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.
Computing and information technology
2 departments listed: Computer Science, Software Engineering.
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.
Natural and physical sciences
2 departments listed: Biochemistry, Political Science.
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.

What format does BAUK require for a final year project?
BAUK'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 BAUK students in management and social sciences expect from a project?
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. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a BAUK rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for BAUK?
Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the BAUK SIWES guide for report-specific structure.
Is this list of faculties and departments official?
This list reflects 12 departments across 2 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for BAUK, 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.
