I’m currently doing an MSc; this includes a project, and there are regulations about how to write up the final report. In particular:
“The project report must also contain listings of all source code. The source code listings must be contained in an appendix, and do not count towards the 40 page limit for the project report. The code listings must be presented in a compact format (printed double-sided, and with two pages to a side).”

“It is strongly recommended that the document typesetting system TEX or LATEX is used.”
