Report Structure
Element Explanation
Title page Unit code and title, tutor’s name, report title and purpose, your name and
student number. Check your Learning Guide to find out what information you
need to include here.
Table of contents A list of sections and subsections indicating which page each section begins
on (usually only needed for longer reports of 10 pages or more). Each section
and subsection is numbered in a cascading way, e.g., Section 2 has three
subsections, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. Use a numbered list in your word processing
program to create the Table of Contents.
List of
abbreviations
and/or glossary
A list of any abbreviations, acronyms or technical terms you use in your
report. This should be on a separate page in your report.
Executive summary A brief overview of the whole report that stands alone and does not refer to
the report the way an abstract would. The purpose of the executive summary
is so a reader who doesn’t have time to read the whole report can find all the
important information ‘at a glance’. You should summarize each section of
the report in one or two sentences, with any recommendations often given in
full (see Brick 2011, p. 165 for an example). Check your assignment
instructions for word length.
Introduction Introduces the topic and its background and significance, identifies the
specific problem within that topic area that you are investigating, previews
the sections of the report, and defines any important terms used.
Body Treatment of the problem is divided up into different aspects (e.g., definition
of the problem, analysis of its features, stages, and/or causes, and proposals
for different ways of approaching or managing the problem or situation). The
body section must address all the 10 required points above.
Conclusion Summarizes the report’s main points. There is no new information here since
each idea or piece of information should already have been introduced in the
body of the report.
Recommendations Presents specific suggestions for action that arise from the analysis and
findings of the report.
Appendices
(singular: appendix;
If you have any large tables, figures, or other material that is too long for your
report but is necessary for the reader to be able to refer to while reading your

one should be numbered and given a title to tell the reader what it contains.
They should be included in the Table of Contents as well.

A report should be as easy to read as possible, so you need to take some care with how you
present it on the page. Follow any formatting guidelines given in your Learning Guide or by
your lecturer/tutor, and keep the following points in mind:
1) The report should be developed in a (10,000-word, “Calibri” font type, 12 pnt. size, 1.5 line
spacing) format.
2) Keep section headings short and informative.
3) Make sure section headings stand out so the reader can easily skim the report to find
the information they most want to know.
4) Leave at least one line of white space between sections and elements.
5) Number all the pages.
