Faculty<br />
The <strong>University</strong> has two faculties. Faculty only has a capital F when it is part of the<br />
faculty’s title:<br />
Example:<br />
The Faculty of Design, Media & Management is located on our High<br />
Wycombe Campus.<br />
The academic staff in the faculty are based at our High Wycombe Campus.<br />
Fewer (see also less)<br />
The basic rule of thumb is if you can count it, use fewer. Fewer means not as<br />
many, whereas less means not as much. However, use less if you are referring to<br />
a period of time.<br />
Examples:<br />
A shower uses less water than a bath, so you should take fewer baths.<br />
She will be finishing her course in less than six weeks.<br />
There are fewer people taking part this year.<br />

File referencing (see also headers and footers)<br />
A document should contain in the footer: the job title of the person who<br />
created the document; the date it was created; the drafting history; and<br />
