What your department type means for your NWUS report

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

Management and social sciences

6 departments listed: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Psychology 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

3 departments listed: Biological Science, Chemistry, Library and Information 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.

Arts, humanities and law

2 departments listed: Islamic Law, Public and Private Law.

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.

Education

Department listed: Special Education.

Education projects often study classrooms, teaching methods or learners through a survey or a small classroom-based study. Many education programmes also have a teaching practice requirement, so ask which industrial or school-based placement applies to you.

APA is widely used in education departments. Related reading: seminar topics for education students and how to design a questionnaire.

Frequently asked questions

What format does NWUS require for a final year project?

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

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for NWUS?

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

Is this list of faculties and departments official?

This list reflects 13 departments across 8 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for NWUS, 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.
