The style that most departments/faculties within the university specify you should adhere to is the Harvard Referencing System.

This booklet is a short guide that has been produced by the Library and Learning Resources. You will, however, find that there are a few variations within the Harvard method of referencing so if your faculty/department has produced a guide of their own, it is recommended that you use this in preference to the Library guide.
