Academic Integrity in Learning Units

The University is committed to creating an academic environment in which learning with integrity means engaging honestly, responsibly and ethically with the curriculum. Engaging in academic misconduct undermines this commitment, impedes the development of authentic knowledge and skills, and prevents meaningful learning. Academic integrity is therefore essential to the learning process and to the value of the qualifications awarded by the University.

Academic Integrity in a Learning Unit includes:

  • Following the guidance for Artificial Intelligence in your unit, taking responsibility for the validity of any information you get from AI tools, and always acknowledging your use fully and accurately;
  • Completing your own work, without copying from others or asking other people to do your work for you;
  • Referencing your sources of information accurately;
  • Attending classes and engaging with the learning materials and feedback.

Your teaching staff will provide feedback if they have concerns that you are not acting with integrity in your learning. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are completing your work ethically.
