This is your last year of university that you will have to finish with a Uni thesis or dissertation. What is a Uni thesis or dissertation all about? It is a big, serious project that involves your independent work and research. Your Uni thesis/dissertation should reflect all skills and knowledge of yours in a certain field.

A Uni thesis/dissertation: rule 2
 
Find out and follow all requirements as to how your project should look like. It seems to be so ridiculous not to get your degree because of wrong margins or references. Yet, it is a well-known fact that students who fail to meet the official requirements do not get a degree until everything is correct.
 
A Uni thesis/dissertation: rule 3
 
A Uni thesis/dissertation should be organized in a certain order. Requirements vary from institution to institution, but mostly, chapters in Uni dissertations and theses are organized as follows:

• Title page;
• Signature page;
• Abstract;
• Acknowledgments;
• Table of contents;
• List of tables;
• List of figures;
• Introduction;
• Literature review;
• Methods;
• Results;
