Formatting Requirements

The University has specific format requirements that you must follow in presenting your thesis:

Paper Size

Theses must be presented on A4 paper.

Type Font

Text should normally use a 12 point font with double-spaced lines. There is no regulation as to what font should be used, but an easy to read font such as Times New Roman or Ariel is recommended.

Margins

There should be a margin of at least 3.5cm on the left side of each page (both typescript and diagrams) to allow for binding. Other margins should be at least 2.5cm.

Notes

Explanatory notes should stand at the foot of the relevant pages.

Printing

Good quality printing should be used throughout. Pages should be printed single-sided.
