CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Chapter number should appear as CHAPTER 1: 16 points Times New Roman, boldface, and
placed at three spaces single space from the top margin and centered between the margins. Page
number from introduction to on word should be bottom right align.

Chapter title is two single spaces below the chapter number and all in caps, 16 points, Times New
Roman, boldface and on single space.

The first line of a chapter shall begin two single spaces below the title. This is where you begin typing
the body of text for your MS/ M Phil/ Doctoral dissertation. Follow the adjustments to the margins,
line spacing, and pagination, which should be consistent throughout the thesis .
Body of Proposal
Theses in all languages should be divided into parts, chapters, sections, and subsections as
may be appropriate. The chapters can carry sections and subsections if necessary, but will not
have any subchapters. The first chapter will normally take the form of an introduction,
placing the thesis in relation to its general topic, and to other work in the subject. Chapter
titles and headings of sections and subsections should be factual, concise, and descriptively
accurate. There are two basic principles that need to be observed and are based on the
hierarchical order of divisions: part, chapter, section, subsections, etc. The first principle
concerns the space left between units: if there are parts, each part must begin on a new page
and should have its title page; chapters should always begin on a new page; sections should
have more space between them than subsections. The second principle is that of
typographical distinctions of headings: the heading of a part (if applicable, must be on a
separate page) more prominent than that of a chapter, which must be more prominent than
that of a section, and so on. Thesis may have 5 to 7 chapters in total.

The following format is to be followed in the writing of the main text:

All theses will follow the spacing and other general specifications outlined here:

Chapter number should be written as: CHAPTER 2; in 16 points, boldface, and placed at
three single spaces below the top margin and centered between the margins. It shall be
followed by the chapter title, placed two single spaces below the chapter number, in capital
letters, bold, and in 16 points, Times New Roman.

Each chapter should begin on a new page.

Each paragraph will be indented, and single or double space given after each paragraph.

The style of the thesis must be consistent and must conform to thesis formatting guidelines
with consecutive page numbering throughout.

Sections of text presented in the thesis must be of good literary style and must appear in the
appropriate order.

Students are reminded that a consistent and established style commonly used in their field of
study must be followed throughout the thesis. Students should consult with their supervisors
about an appropriate style manual (APA or MLA) for their field of study, and the style
manual once chosen, the guidelines must be followed
