Key takeaways
- Full Amity MA project report: 15,000–30,000 words (Stage 2).
- Extended abstract: 3,000–5,000 words with a 500–1,000 word standalone abstract inside (Stage 1).
- Project title: maximum 12 words—separate from body word counts.
The word limit for an Amity MA project report is 15,000 to 30,000 words for the full report submitted in Stage 2. The extended abstract submitted earlier in Stage 1 must be 3,000 to 5,000 words, including a standalone abstract of 500 to 1,000 words. Your project title cannot exceed 12 words. Reports shorter than 15,000 or longer than 30,000 words do not meet Amity's official requirements.
Direct answer
- Full MA project report: 15,000–30,000 words
- Extended abstract (Stage 1): 3,000–5,000 words
- Standalone abstract inside extended abstract: 500–1,000 words
- Project title: maximum 12 words
Does the title count toward the word limit?
No. The 12-word title cap is a separate rule. Those words are not counted toward the 15,000–30,000 word body limit for your full MA report.
What if my report is only 10,000 words?
A 10,000-word report falls below Amity's 15,000-word minimum. You will need to expand your literature review, methodology, analysis, or discussion chapters before upload. Many MA students underestimate the minimum—15,000 words is the floor, not a suggestion.
How many pages is 20,000 words?
At Times New Roman 12 pt double-spaced with 1-inch margins—the format Amity requires—a 20,000-word MA report is roughly 65–80 pages, depending on how many tables, figures, and appendices you include. Word count, not page count, is what Amity evaluates.
