Bullet points (continued)
Bullet points can help to break up text and make it easier to read and digest.
Solid round bullet points should be used. If you need to use secondary bullet
points, you should use open round bullet points.
When using bullet points in presentations, remember:
• the bullet point should be a short summary of a key point, not an entire
sentence;
• bullet points should follow a consistent style;
• as a guideline, slides should not have more than six bullet points and each
bullet should be no more than six words;
• bullet points alone can be boring – add pictures, diagrams, audio clips or videos.
Campuses
From September 2009, we have two distinct campuses:
• High Wycombe Campus is a short walk from the bus and train stations in High
Wycombe on Queen Alexandra Road.
• Our Uxbridge Campus allows Nursing students to be close to the clinical areas
where they undertake their placements.
Example:
There will be a shuttle bus service from our High Wycombe Campus to the
student accommodation in Hughenden.
