3 Organisation of the Text
3.1 Sections and headings
The paper should be reasonably divided into sections and, if necessary, subsections.
The number of levels depends on the length of the work and the complexity of the
subject matter. Please give all sections and subsections a heading and indicate the
hierarchical level of the section by numbers (e.g. 2, 2.1, 2.1.1, etc).
3.2 BA and MA theses
The sections of a BA and MA thesis should be arranged as follows:
Title page
Abstract (MA theses only)
Table of contents
Lists of figures, tables, and abbreviations
Body of the text
References
Appendices
Finnish summary (for BA theses, this should be physically separate from the rest of
the text)
3.3 Figures and tables
If you present facts in the form of figures (i.e. graphics) or tables, they should be
numbered (e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc.) in boldface, with their title in normal font; they
are referred to in the text by their numbers (e.g. “See Table 4 for details”). All figures
and tables should be self-explanatory: they should be understandable
independently, without referring to the text (for instance, abbreviations used in the
table should be explained in the legend of the table). Figures and tables should be
relevant to your argumentation: the information they present should be discussed in
the text. The example below is correct:
