What your department type means for your UNIZIK report

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

Natural and physical sciences

13 departments listed: Human Biochemistry, Applied Biochemistry, Applied Microbiology and Brewing, Botany 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.

Management and social sciences

12 departments listed: Geography and Meteorology, Accountancy, Banking and Finance, Business Administration 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.

Arts, humanities and law

10 departments listed: English Language and Literature, History and International Studies, Igbo, African and Asian Studies, Linguistics 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

9 departments listed: Agricultural and Bio-Resources Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical 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.

Frequently asked questions

What format does UNIZIK require for a final year project?

UniDraft has UNIZIK's specific formatting on file -- see the exact fonts, margins, and reference style in the sections above. Your department may still layer its own instructions on top.

What should UNIZIK 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 UNIZIK rule, so your supervisor's instructions win.

Does UniDraft support SIWES/IT reports for UNIZIK?

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

Is this list of faculties and departments official?

This list reflects 78 departments across 14 faculties in UniDraft's catalog for UNIZIK, 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.
