Our style guide was created to help anyone who writes on behalf of the University.

It ensures that all of us write in a clear, consistent style. The style guide includes three sections:

  • Guidance on voice and tone, which outlines the effect we want to create when we communicate with people – and how to achieve it.
  • Guidance on style, which covers our grammatical and punctuation preferences plus other helpful information about writing for the University.
  • A comprehensive A–Z guide that includes our preferred spelling and style for a variety of University-relevant words.

You can find the Style Guide PDF online.
