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 />
