number printed as a footer on every page. Note this is a report supported by academic research

so you should adhere to the appropriate referencing guidance. The word limit stated for this

assignment excludes the list of references at the end of the assignment but includes all text in

the main body of the assignment (including direct quotations, in-text citations, footnotes,

tables, diagrams and graphs). Please be aware that exceeding the word limit will affect the

academic judgement of the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark.

Appendices are not considered a supplement and will not be assessed as part of the content of

the assignment. As such, they will not contribute to the grade awarded; however,

it may be appropriate to use an Appendices section for any material which is a useful reference

for the reader. Please note that appendices are not included in the word count. The majority of

references should come from secondary sources (e.g. journal articles, conference papers,

reports, etc.) although you can also utilise area specific textbooks. You must ensure that you
use the Harvard style of referencing. Please indicate the word count length at the end of your

assignment.
