Basic requirements for the design of the thesis

When drawing up a thesis, you must follow specific requirements and recommendations. Each institution establishes them independently, relying on generally recognized state standards. What are the requirements for the design of the thesis, we will discuss in this article.

General design

• When completing the title page, you must indicate the name of the institution (in full), the faculty, the title of the work, the full name of the student and the instructor-consultant.
• Requirements for the design of the thesis. Standards for the design of fields: right - 10 mm., Upper, as well as bottom, - 20 mm., And left - 30 mm. (Please note that these figures can be changed at the initiative of the university, but the new values should not be less than the indicated figures).
• Writing the thesis is carried out on white paper, which has the format A4.
• Requirements for the design of the thesis (GOST) do not contain instructions on the type of font. However, Times New Roman is always used. Size - 14 (can also be 12, but not less), color - black.
• The interval used between the lines is one and a half.
• Numbering of pages should be done at the bottom of the sheet in the middle. Punctuation marks are not used when stating numbers, as well as when writing headings.

Requirements for the design of the thesis. Content, registration of additional elements

On this sheet, you must write the names of all parts of the work, including subsections and paragraphs. Applications, a list of used literature and other sources are also indicated in the content. Opposite each title, you need to put the page numbers that are initial. The word "Content" is written in the center in big letters. All the drawings that are part of the thesis work, you need to sign. For example, "Figure 8: Chip". The signature must be located under the object itself, in the center. The reference to the drawing must be present in the text of the thesis. The tables contained in the text are signed on top, on the left. They are located strictly after the reference to them (either on the page in which there is a mention of it, or on the next one). As a name you need to use The word "Table", its number and name (you can not write the name in GOST, but educational institutions of higher and secondary vocational education indicate it in their requirements). In the event that there is a need to transfer the object to another sheet, it is necessary to indicate on the new what is the continuation.

Requirements for the design of the thesis: notes, applications, sources

If necessary, use notes to clarify information. They are in the text either immediately after the main information, or at the bottom of the page in the form of a footnote. Have the following appearance: "Note: (text)". If there are several of them, then it is necessary to arrange them with a list, numbered with Arabic numerals. Applications are located at the very end of the thesis in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. All figures and tables located in them have a name, for example, "Figure A8". Standards for the design of the thesis also contain information on how to design sources of literature. Example: "Ivantsov, PT Operations with money / PT Ivantsov - M.: Sun 2014. - 521 p."
