   At the postgraduate level you are expected to use a wide range of materials such as books, journal articles, newspapers, reports, etc. Heavily relying on web materials (except articles in digital journals downloaded from the university library) is not considered as a good academic practice, and therefore should be avoided. Besides this you should not heavily rely on one or two sources (for example relying one or two articles or books). Details of the citation method can be found in the Student’s Handbook.
