Centria Guide for Thesis and Academic Writing

Appendices

Appendices consist of e.g. manuals, questionnaires, tables and graphs, and other such materials that do not necessarily need to be included in the actual thesis report. Appendices are placed last in the thesis.

Appendices have no page numbering. Instead they are numbered separately: APPENDIX 1, APPENDIX 2 etc. in the top right-hand corner. If an appendix consists of three pages, for example, they are marked: APPENDIX 2/1, APPENDIX 2/2, APPENDIX 2/3.  

When referring to appendices in the text, the page number of the appendix is not mentioned, only the number of the appendix (eg. APPENDIX 1). If referring to a figure in an appendix, mention only the appendix and its number, not the figure.


For example:

In recent years the number of international students in Finland has grown rapidly (APPENDIX 1).
