Brackets
Use standard round brackets ( ), not [ ] or { }
Avoid nested brackets (brackets within brackets)
Where brackets include a complete sentence, the sentence has an initial capital and ends with a full stop inside the bracket. ie (He completed his course work on time).
Where the bracket is within another sentence, there is no capital and the full stop is outside the bracket.

Bullet lists

sense dictates otherwise in specific circumstances).

  • first point
  • second point
  • third point

For sentence fragments, use no initial capitals and no punctuation: The University provides a range of support including:

  • specialist one-to-one tuition
  • peer mentoring for prospective

For full sentences where an introductory phrase is part of the sentence, you should:

  • introduce the bullet points with a colon.
  • start each bullet point with a lower case letter.
  • punctuate the sentence correctly.
  • end each bullet point with a full stop.

The bullet point can include more than one sentence. Each point must read correctly from the introductory phrase.

Full sentences can stand alone as bullet points with no introductory phrase:

  • Start with a capital letter.
  • Punctuate the sentence correctly.
  • End with a full stop. your studies.

The bullet point can include more than one sentence.
