The referencing style you use will usually be decided by your School. However, required styles may vary by module, especially if you’re studying joint or combined honours.  Check your programme and module handbooks and speak to your lecturers if you are not sure which style to use. 

If your School does not state a preference for a particular style, we recommend using Cite Them Right Harvard. This is the most commonly used referencing style at Newcastle University, and you can find help formatting your references in this style via  'Cite Them Right', which is available through Library Search.
