Underlining<br />
Don’t underline unnecessarily. Headings should not be underlined because<br />
readers may think they are hyperlinks. Use bold for emphasis.<br />
United Kingdom<br />
The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland,<br />
and is synonymous with Britain. Great Britain refers only to the mainland. Beware<br />
of using England when you mean Britain, or vice versa.<br />

U<br />
<strong>University</strong><br />
We refer to the <strong>University</strong> as:<br />
• <strong>Buckinghamshire</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>University</strong> (our formal name, used in contracts and on<br />
certificates, for example)<br />
• Bucks <strong>New</strong> <strong>University</strong> (used informally and in internal and external marketing<br />
materials for example)<br />
• Bucks (be aware of possible confusion with the county)<br />
• BNU is not an acceptable abbreviation of the <strong>University</strong> name.<br />
Capitalise titles, eg <strong>Buckinghamshire</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>University</strong>, but use lower case for<br />
general use, for example: There are two universities in <strong>Buckinghamshire</strong>.<br />
Always capitalise when talking about Bucks <strong>New</strong> <strong>University</strong>, eg the <strong>University</strong>’s<br />
football team.<br />
Do not confuse the <strong>University</strong>'s (belonging to the <strong>University</strong>) with universities<br />
(more than one university).<br />
