I have some questions:
1/ Rules of another university require Thesis must content a page of Abstract and Acknowledgement. However, I do not see this requirement in bscpack2012_13.pdf of ACCA – Oxford Brookes. Do i need to have Abstract and Acknowledgement in my thesis?
2/ About the guide book of BPP for BSC(Hons) Oxford Brookes.
Is there anyone read it before?
Is it helpful ?
Does it tell us how to structure a thesis?
Does it have another thesis as samples ?3/ About the presentation of the thesis. Is that correct?

Could you guys please tell me is that correct ? Many thanks.
March 4, 2013 at 4:42 am #119100Answer 1.The guide says it is recommended format and not mandatory format so you may include Abstract (mind you there is word limit)
Answer 2. The BPP guide not useful (my personal opinion) but it is good to use its name in reference list/biblo to impress marker.
Answer 3. Yes this is what recommended format you may also get subheadings from Bsc info pack 2013.
If you can get some sample projects it would be very much helpful. previously they were available on this website but now removed.
Good Luck

Hi there. You may write Abstract and Acknowledgement but remember the word count. It is mentioned in Bsc Info pack that it is recommended format and not mandatory, however they don’t like too much deviation from there format.
2/ About the guide book of BPP for BSC(Hons) Oxford Brookes.

The guide you are referring is not much helpful to me, there are no samples or hints tips how to write thesis, rather latest Bsc info pack 2013 and resubmission guide on acca website contains all info, further read marker comments for failing which some friends have provided on this forum. Previously some one had uploaded samples on this website but they are removed.3/ About the presentation of the thesis. Is that correct?
If you mean the BPP guide, not of much help, you will learn much if you get past cleared projects.TITLE (inculde name of school, kind of degree, topic chosen, name of student, ACCA reg num., date, word count)

Yes that is correct format, plus you also have to submit SLS (Skills and Learning Statement of 2000 words)
April 7, 2014 at 5:42 pm #164654Hi, I have some queries about what files do we need to submit.
Do we need to submit as follows?:
– Research Report (incl. References and Appendices)
– Skills and Learning Statement (does not include a copy of the Power Point Slides)
– Presentation Slides
– BibliographyI appreciate for any reply.
Thanks
April 7, 2014 at 8:55 pm #164676I passed my first submission, Topic 8
I submitted as follows:(1) Research Report (only) (.doc)
(2) SLS (only) (.doc)
(3) Presentation slides
(4) References(+Bibliography) in 1 (.doc)
(5) Appendix A (.xls)
(6) Appendix B (.xls)
(7) Appendix C (.xls)
(8) Appendix D (.xls)
(9) Appendix E (.xls)April 8, 2014 at 1:59 am #164687I didn’t think of having a separate doc for references and bibliography. Your idea sounds nice.
Can I get your email please? I need a little advice regarding word count and referencing. I am not at all satisfied with my mentor. - AuthorPosts
