Harvard Referencing Guide (not including LHS): Welcome

Welcome

There are a number of referencing styles used within Ulster University. However, several Faculties and Schools have agreed a joint style using the Harvard system of referencing. It is sometimes called 'Ulster-Harvard'. This joint style is used by the Ulster University Business School, much of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences, the School of Computing, Engineering & Intelligent Systems and the Belfast School of Architecture and Built Environment.

The Faculty of Life & Health Sciences have their own version of Harvard, which is slightly different. Please see the LHS Harvard Referencing guide for more information.

Students within the School of Law must use the Oxford Style for Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA).
