Table of Contents, please see section 3.1.h (above). All chapter titles, headings and
subheadings should appear in the Table of Contents. Insert the word “Chapter” in front
of chapter numbers in the table of contents and in the main body of text. Chapter 1
should be entitled Introduction, for example, ‘Chapter 1: Introduction‘ and the last
chapter entitled Conclusions (or Discussion). Line spacing of 1.5 should be maintained
between entries. Text within the titles must not hang over the Table of Content‘s page
numbers; the ‘column’ of page numbers must be free of any text from the titles. Right
align page numbers. Each appendix (if applicable) should be listed separately in the

maintained between entries. Text within the titles must not hang over the page numbers;
the ‘column’ of page numbers must be free of any text from the titles. The lists should
include any material inserted in a back pocket. When listing the Tables and Figures make
sure that text within the titles must not hang over the page numbers; the ‘column’ of page
numbers must be free of any text from the titles. . Figures and Tables must be
numbered separately. For example: “Figure 1. Database contexts”,“Table 1. Input data”.
Figure captions are to be below the figures. Table titles are to be above the tables. Do not
put the figures and tables at the end of the document. A figure/table should appear at or
near the place where it is referred to in the text for the first time.

g) Abstract: This part of the thesis will be the most widely published and most read. It is
best written towards the end, but not at the very last minute because you will probably
need several drafts. It should be a distillation of the thesis: a concise description of the
problem(s) addressed and your method of solving it/them, your results and conclusions.
An abstract must be self-contained.Usually they do not contain references. When a
reference is necessary, its details should be included in the text of the abstract.The number

guidelines and order of items listed in section 3.1.Chapter 1 must start on page 1 with
subsequent chapters should start from the right hand side page as we open the thesis.

b) Page Numbers: All pages must be numbered in sequence. Minimum font size is 10-

bottom centre, although lower right or the upper right corners are also acceptable.
 Page numbers must be at least 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) from the bottom of
the page and centered.

c) Line Spacing: 1.5, except where indicated otherwise. Short sections (e.g., quotations,
equations, footnotes) may require more or less than this.

d) Chapter Titles, Headings, and Sub-headings: All chapter titles, headings, and sub-
headings must appear in the table of contents. For each level of title or heading,
consistent format in font size and style, numbering or lettering, and placement should be
maintained throughout the thesis text. Each chapter should begin on a new page. Chapter
title should be Arial, 16 point Boldface Uppercase.

First-order headings: Times 14-point boldface, upper case, flush left, with one blank
line before, and one blank line after. Use a period (“.”) after the heading number, not a
colon.

Second-order headings: As in this heading, they should be Times 14 - point boldface,

initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.

Third-order headings: Third-order headings, as in this paragraph,are discouraged.

However, if you must use them, use 12-point Times, initially capitalized, flush
left, preceded by one blank line, followed by a period and your text on the same line.

 General: The content, placement, and format of figures and tables are
determined by discipline practice. Sources of any figures or tables not original to

scale of reproduction in the thesis. Figures may be in color or grey-scale, as
appropriate to the subject matter. Figure and table should be embedded in the
text.

 Captions: Captions may be directly placed above the table and below the
figure. Captions can be in sentence form, without capitalizing all major words
and should be self contained in all respects.

 Page Setup: Figures, tables, and captions may be embedded in the text or
appear on separate pages as appropriate. Landscape or portrait orientation is
acceptable, although the page itself must appear in portrait (vertical) orientation.
Margin width and page number placement should be consistent with the rest of
text.

 Numbering: All figures and tables are to be listed at the beginning of the
thesis except those appearing in the appendices. Numbering or lettering style (if
any) should be in accordance with discipline practice, and consistent throughout
the thesis.
