How do I reference using the APA referencing style?
Answer
If you're using the APA referencing style and want to make sure your citations are accurate and consistent, you must use the APA Style Guidance (7th Edition).
The APA Referencing Guide is available on our Academic Integrity page, and provides clear guidance on how to cite a wide range of sources correctly.
Whether you're referencing books, journal articles, websites, or more, this guide is designed to support you throughout your academic journey.
Our Academic Integrity page also has other useful resources that can help you improve your understanding of referencing.

Remember that the APA referencing style is only used by students studying BSc (Hons) Psychology, BSc (Hons) Psychology with counselling, MSc Psychology Conversion Degree, and MSc Business Psychology.
All joint programmes, for example, BA (Hons) Criminology and Psychology, use the AU Harvard Referencing style.
