What your department type means for your University of Calabar report

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

Natural and physical sciences

10 departments listed: Biochemistry, Genetics and Biotechnology, Microbiology, Zoology and Environmental Biology 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.

Arts, humanities and law

9 departments listed: English and Literary Studies, Fine and Applied Arts, History and International Studies, Linguistics and Nigerian Languages 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.

Engineering

6 departments listed: Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and others.

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.

Health and medical sciences

5 departments listed: Science Laboratory Technology, Child Dental Health, Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine and Oral Diagnosis, Preventive Dentistry 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.

Frequently asked questions

What format does University of Calabar require for a final year project?

University of Calabar'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 University of Calabar 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 University of Calabar rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for University of Calabar?

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