What your department type means for your Sam Maris University report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for Sam Maris University. They are not Sam Maris University rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Management and social sciences
6 departments listed: Business, Private, Public & International Law, Accounting and Finance, Business, 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.
Built environment
4 departments listed: Architecture, Building, Estate Management, Urban and Regional Planning.
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.
Health and medical sciences
3 departments listed: Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing Sciences, Public Health.
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.
Computing and information technology
2 departments listed: Computer Science, Surveying and Geo-Informatics.
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.

Sam Maris University'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 Sam Maris University 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 Sam Maris University rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for Sam Maris University?
Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the Sam Maris University SIWES guide for report-specific structure.

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.
