TIps on how to format your thesis (MS Word) In-Person

This workshop will help you work around some of the common formatting glitches most postgraduate students experience, whilst getting their document ready for submission.  

Benefits of formatting your thesis: 

•    Consistency – your document will be consistent throughout and will ensure that your supervisors can easily navigate the content
•    Speed – once you have customised a style or format it would be easy for you to apply the style throughout the document
•    Automation – the insertion of Table of Contents, figures and bibliography can easily be automated once the formatting has been customised

Target Audience: Postgraduate students

Outcomes:

At the end of this workshop you will be able to: 

•    Manage the different sections in your document e.g. Title page, preliminary pages and chapters
•    Formulate your title page e.g. include the SU watermark logo

•    Apply headings to the different sections in your thesis
