    Foreword
    “After over sixty years in Higher Education it is a
    pleasure to welcome another book about Final Year
    Projects.
    There is indeed a plethora of literature on this topic,
    much of it specific to particular courses or institutions.
    Usually it is useful, often worthy, frequently good, but
    eye-opener examples are rare.
    Here I believe we may have one such. Not because of
    any flashy heterodoxy, but by its comprehensive
    clarity, logical sequencing, confident handling of
    statistical materials and accessibility, mirroring the
    professional expertise, wide experience and student
    empathy of the author. It provides an ideal template for
    successful submission.
    A boon to any graduate researcher and equally
    valuable to their supervisors.”

    Professor Bartley Culverwell, BSc (Econ) MSc MBA


    PhD ACP FRAI
    Director of Education London Graduate School of Management
    Reporting Inspector for the British Accreditation Council for
    Further and Higher Education in the Private Sector.
    Intermittently Head of the Business School University of
    Greenwich and of Community Education at Dartford College of

    Section 1. Project structure.

    1.1: What is a Final Year Project?


    A final year project represents a demonstration
    of a student’s ability to integrate the
    knowledge they acquired from more than one
    course and subject, to produce a final work that
    shows your readiness to graduate. In many
    cases, you are also required to demonstrate the
    ability to learn new skills on your own.
    However, the write up of your final year
    project has to follow clear academic guidelines
    that also show: integrity, creativity,
    organization, and research skills.

    Before we start explaining the different sections


    of a project thesis, a student should confirm
    with their project supervisor that they are
    happy with the general structure suggested
    below. The structure here is a popular academic
    structure for writing up a final year project
    used by degree, master’s, and even PhD
    students. This academic structure is not
    difficult to understand or implement. I
    recommend students to make a quick review of
    it before they start and come back to read each
    section as they write it.
