What your department type means for your MOAUM report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for MOAUM. They are not MOAUM rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Arts, humanities and law
10 departments listed: English, History, Linguistics and Languages, Philosophy and others.
Arts, humanities and law projects tend to be text-based, analytical or doctrinal, built on sources, cases or texts rather than measured data. The literature review often carries more of the argument than it does in a laboratory project.
Styles vary widely here: some departments use APA, others MLA or Chicago, and some law departments use OSCOLA. Confirm yours. Related reading: how to write the literature review and how to write the references list.
Management and social sciences
10 departments listed: Development Communication Studies, Strategic Communications, Geography, Accounting 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.
Health and medical sciences
6 departments listed: Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Library, Nursing 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.
Natural and physical sciences
6 departments listed: Chemical Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, Biology, Chemistry 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.

What format does MOAUM require for a final year project?
MOAUM'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 MOAUM students in arts, humanities and law expect from a project?
Arts, humanities and law projects tend to be text-based, analytical or doctrinal, built on sources, cases or texts rather than measured data. The literature review often carries more of the argument than it does in a laboratory project. Styles vary widely here: some departments use APA, others MLA or Chicago, and some law departments use OSCOLA. Confirm yours. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a MOAUM rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for MOAUM?
Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the MOAUM SIWES guide for report-specific structure.
Is this list of faculties and departments official?
This list reflects 44 departments across 10 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for MOAUM, 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.
