Word length and penalty: The essay should be 4000 words in length. This word limit relates to the word count given by the word counters in Microsoft Word and should be included at the end of the document. For work that is >10% over the word limit, a sanction will be applied in that markers will stop reading after the word limit has been exhausted and will only mark content up to this point e.g. will discount the conclusion so this could be costly and is best to be avoided at all costs.

Note the following as to what is to be included or not in the word count:
(a) appendices should not be included in word count
(b) tables should not be included in word count if these are used to present quantitative data or taken from a reference, but should be included if they are constructed using your own words
(c) quotations and citations should be included in word count
(d) the bibliography should not be included in the word count.
(e) the title page.
