The short answer to this is no – requirements can vary from assignment to assignment, and between different subject disciplines. You should always check your assignment brief carefully to see if your lecturers have provided any specific instructions for you.
However, in the absence of any other guidance, you may find the following useful as a starting point:
- Font: a standard professional typeface such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman
- Font Size: at least 12
- Line Spacing: at least 1.5, although some tutors may prefer double line spacing
