ABSTRACT
Whether you are on a professional development course or a degree programme, you will need to write a report. This may take a variety of forms: possibly a report for your company, a module on a university course or a dissertation. Whatever form it takes, you need to know some basic principles, both about what the report will look like, how to write it and how it will be judged. You also need to be confident about its potential for influence in the public domain.
