All pages should be numbered, including Appendices. Care should be taken to ensure each Appendix
is properly cross-referenced within the main body of the Report. Any Figures or Tables should be cited
within the main body (not within Appendices), be numbered, and indicate their respective source. A
margin of no less than 2.5cm should be left on the right hand side of pages to allow room for markers’
comments. Remember all academic writing is in the third person, singular, present tense.
Structure
Reports should be structured as follows:
➢ Cover Page
➢ Table of Contents
➢ Executive Summary or Abstract
➢ Introduction
➢ Main Analysis (structure using headings and sub-headings)
➢ Conclusions
➢ List of References
➢ Appendices

Methodology
Students are expected to undertake appropriate research in the preparation of their Report. In any
event, it is always necessary to justify the reliability of the information upon which any piece of
academic writing is based. As such, students should briefly explain how their study has been
approached, and outline the research undertaken in its preparation.
