Appendix A Title Appendix B Title The purpose of the word limitation is for students to: Focus on issues; Be critically concise; and Assist them in their time management throughout the programme. More specifically and to prevent confusion by students over the word limit, the assessment specifically relates to the section in the report between the introduction and the completion of the recommendations section. It does not include the executive summary, the contents, diagrams, models, tables, references and the appendices. These are, however, expected as part of the presented report. For consistency throughout the programme, students are requested to include the word count on the front of their report.
