MSc Student Handbook 2016/17

Submission of MSc Project Reports

Each project module organiser will tell you how to submit your MSc project, but you should submit an electronic copy to QMplus. This will be used for plagiarism detection, for which we currently use Turnitin; see Plagiarism and Referencing.

Project reports must have a title page showing clearly the module code and title, the title of your report, and your full name and student number. A project report should look like any well produced document. Content is more important than presentation, but presentation is also important. In particular, you may lose marks for poor spelling and grammar; most modern word processing or text editing applications provide a spelling checker, which you would be well advised to use.

For more specific guidance on organisation and style, please consult the individual QMplus pages of the project modules.

Correct referencing of other people's work that you have used in your report is essential and will help avoid accusations of plagiarism; see Plagiarism and Referencing and Recommended Referencing Style.
