What your department type means for your UNICROSS report
These notes are general guidance by discipline, matched to the departments listed for UNICROSS. They are not UNICROSS rules; your supervisor’s and department’s instructions always take priority.
Natural and physical sciences
10 departments listed: Biology, Microbiology, Plant Science and Biotechnology, Library and Information Science 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.
Agriculture and food sciences
5 departments listed: Agric. Economics and Extension, Agriculture, Animal Science, Fisheries and Aquatic Science and others.
Agriculture projects are commonly field or farm experiments, laboratory work, or agricultural economics surveys, and industrial attachment usually places students on farms, in agencies or in agro-industry. Keep dated, specific records of what you did each week.
APA is common, but confirm your department's required style. Related reading: the agriculture SIWES report guide and calculating sample size.
Engineering
4 departments listed: Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Wood Products Engineering.
Engineering projects typically centre on design, construction or analysis, backed by calculations, drawings or test results. Whether SIWES is compulsory depends on your programme and institution, so confirm it with your SIWES unit; logbook entries should record specific tasks, equipment, measurements and safety practice.
Engineering departments often prefer a numbered style such as IEEE, but check your own department's guideline. Related reading: engineering SIWES logbook examples and the civil engineering SIWES report guide and the electrical and electronic engineering SIWES report guide.
Computing and information technology
3 departments listed: Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering.
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 format does UNICROSS require for a final year project?
UNICROSS'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 UNICROSS students in natural and physical sciences expect from a project?
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. This is general guidance for the discipline, not a UNICROSS rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.
Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for UNICROSS?
Yes. IT/SIWES reports, final year projects, and seminar reports are all supported. See the UNICROSS SIWES guide for report-specific structure.
Is this list of faculties and departments official?
