1.24 Title pages

The title page should normally include the title, your name, date, the unit/subject, course and the name of the tutor to whom it is being submitted. Requirements do vary though from course to course, so check with your tutor what is expected.

Make sure you copy the title exactly as it has been given to you: don’t paraphrase or summarise it in any way. Print the title in a bigger font (and maybe in bold) as it should stand out from the rest of the information.

Ensure everything is spelt correctly! A mistake on the title page creates a very bad impression.

It is generally best to avoid graphics and pictures (especially Microsoft clipart!); also avoid coloured and “fancy” fonts or effects. (An exception might be on some BIAD or possibly Built Environment courses). Your main aim should be clarity.

A couple of sample title pages follow.
