SIWES by department type at BAUK

BAUK has 12 departments in UniDraft’s catalog. These are general notes for each type of department, not BAUK rules; your SIWES unit and supervisor decide.

Management and social sciences

8 departments listed: Accounting, Business Administration, Criminology & Security Studies, Economics and others.

Logbook: Record the departments you worked in, the tasks, the documents or systems you handled and the people you reported to each week.

Report: Describe how the organisation is structured and how your tasks fit into its operations, linking what you saw to what you studied.

Computing and information technology

2 departments listed: Computer Science, Software Engineering.

Logbook: Name the systems, languages, tools and tickets you actually handled each week, and what you personally did on them (debugging, testing, deploying, support), rather than writing "learnt programming".

Report: The technical chapter works best as a description of one or two real tasks, with the tools used and the problem each solved, ideally with screenshots or diagrams you are allowed to share.

Natural and physical sciences

2 departments listed: Biochemistry, Political Science.

Logbook: Record the laboratory or field procedures you carried out, the samples or instruments involved, and the safety rules you followed, in your own words.

Report: Describe each procedure with its purpose and your observations, and format units, formulas and species names carefully.

Frequently asked questions

What chapters does a BAUK SIWES report need?

Most Nigerian SIWES/IT reports follow a similar structure: an introduction to the organization, a chapter covering the industrial training experience and duties performed, a chapter of technical/theoretical knowledge gained, and a conclusion with recommendations -- built around your actual logbook entries, not invented ones. Your department may adjust this exact breakdown.

What formatting does BAUK expect for a SIWES report?

BAUK's exact SIWES 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.

Can UniDraft use my actual SIWES logbook and placement details?

Yes -- bring your real placement organization, duties, and logbook notes. UniDraft builds the report around what you actually did; it does not invent industrial training experience you didn't have.

Is this different from a final year project for BAUK?

Yes. A SIWES/IT report documents your industrial training placement, while a final year project is an independent research report. See the general BAUK format guide for the full project and seminar report breakdown.
