1. Front Cover Page
2. Title Page
3. Acknowledgment
4. Executive Summary or Abstract (brief, normally not more than 350 words)
5. Table of Contents and Page Numbers
6. List of Figures and Tables
7. Chapter One - Introduction
8. Chapter Two - Literature Review
9. Chapter Three - Research Methodology and Methods
10. Chapter Four - Data Findings and Analysis 1
1. Chapter Five - Conclusions and Recommendations (where appropriate)
12. Personal Reflections
13. References
14. Appendices: Must include your proposal, Major Research Project log, ethics related information (primary research needs to include final ethics application form and ethics approval letter, questionnaire/interview questions and anonymised evidence of original data for primary research, e.g. completed questionnaire samples or interview transcriptions; secondary research need to include the signed secondary declaration form).
