What your department type means for your Novena University report

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

Health and medical sciences

10 departments listed: Anatomy, Dentistry, Medical Laboratory Science, Medicine & Surgery 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.

Management and social sciences

8 departments listed: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Finance 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.

Natural and physical sciences

7 departments listed: Political Science, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Environmental Management Technology 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

6 departments listed: Computer Science, Computer Science & Mathematics, Cyber Security, 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.

What should Novena University students in health and medical sciences expect from a project?

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. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a Novena University rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
