What your department type means for your MAAUN report

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

Management and social sciences

8 departments listed: Accounting, Banking & Finance, Business Administration, 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

6 departments listed: Computer Science, Cyber Security, Data Science, Information Systems and others.

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.

Health and medical sciences

5 departments listed: Doctor of Physiotherapy (DPT), Medical Laboratory Science (MBLs), Public Health, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) and others.

Health-related departments often work under clinical or community placement arrangements of their own and follow a structured health-research format, with ethical approval where human participants are involved. Ask your department what applies to your programme.

APA and Vancouver are both used in health programmes; confirm which your department expects. Related reading: seminar topics for nursing and public health students and validity and reliability of questionnaires.

Built environment

2 departments listed: Architecture, Quantity Surveying.

Architecture, surveying, building and planning departments often combine a design or studio component with a written report, and industrial training is usually spent on site or in a practice. Ask your department how the written report and any design submission are assessed together.

Referencing style varies between these departments; confirm it with your supervisor. Related reading: how to write a SIWES report and how to fill your SIWES logbook.

Frequently asked questions

What format does MAAUN require for a final year project?

MAAUN'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 MAAUN 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 MAAUN rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for MAAUN?

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

Is this list of faculties and departments official?

This list reflects 22 departments across 7 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for MAAUN, 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.
