General Note:
Your department prefers you to use the appropriate referencing style listed above. However, in the light of feedback from students on combined programmes, we understand that some CH/FCH/Liberal Arts students may wish to use the style familiar to them from their other department and so, within the College of Humanities, we are happy for such students to use any of these recognised systems of referencing, so long as it is used accurately and consistently.
* For History (Streatham) guidance, please consult your tutor.
* * Film Studies now uses the Harvard referencing system; however some modules you study on the film course may also allow use of other referencing system you may be more familiar with, especially if that module is interdisciplinary in nature. Staff will always make it clear what the module policy on referencing is.
