What is a Final Year Project?
» A final year project is a research exercise which students in their final year undertake to demonstration their level of understanding in the course that they have studied so far in the tertiary institution.
» However, this exercise requires students to choose these final year projects based on their areas of specialization i.e. the part of your discipline you find interesting and will likely pursue further in your career either in your academic career as in masters’ degree, doctorate degree or your pursuit for greener pastures.
» It is also important to point out that not all final year projects are written, some are constructed and exhibited just like fine arts students will make a sculpture, theatre arts students would act drama, computer science students will preferably programme computer source codes for the implementation of their project designs, so also would engineering students and sometime agricultural science students in the best ways they would prefer.
» Whichever be the case, final year students are expected to document whatever it is they are researching and exhibiting. The reason is that it does a lot of good to them and others during their final year project exhibition to narrate the steps taken to arrive at the results they are presenting. In most cases moreover, students are required to write a final year project proposal which serves as a guide on what they plan to research on and why.
