Final Project Guidelines
Final Project Guidelines
There will be a number of people reading this that will just simply not know what they should include in
their project or how it should be laid out. Below I have put a generalized structure of what a number of
academic institutions prefer :
Title page
You will need to include the title of your project , your name/s, your course title and the name of your
group leader / lead faculty. In academics you are expected to include the course you are on and the
word count – however in our case, this is optional.
Abstract
This will be a page that will be a half to one third filled with an overview and summary of your project.
You should keep this brief and ensure you only highlight the main points.
Acknowledgments
Where you will pass on your thanks to the people who have helped you during the project and writing
process.
Table of contents
This will set out the individual chapters and sub sections, naming them and identifying what page they
can be located on.
In academics you are expected to include a list of figures and tables (where appropriate) and also the
different sections of the appendices.
Introduction
This will introduce the reader to your question, problem or thesis and provide a brief outline to the
structure of your entire project.
Main body/discussion
This will have a number of different chapters within and you will discuss the literature that has been
used to identify the problem and the points that have provided you with evidence and then the analysis,
evaluation and discussion of such evidence.
Conclusion/findings
You will want to bring together the different parts of your project, and clearly state what the answers
were to your central project research question. You should also look to make suggestions for further
research and recommendations were applicable.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT PROJECT PRESENTATION
Bibliography
This should list a complete and correctly formatted list of all of the references and source that you have
used in your project, whether this be ones you have directed cited from or simply referred to.
Appendices
You should include any information that would disrupt the general flow of your work and so would
include any letters, questionnaires or transcripts.
There may be other sections you are asked to include and could be termed as procedure, methodology,
executive summary, literature review or recommendations – you should look at gaining some more
insights into these.
