Sets out the expectations of students, definitions of academic malpractice, how cases are identified and the location for where cases are handled.
The Academic Malpractice Procedure also sets out the University's general position on the use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) and situations when this may be viewed as academic malpractice.
Undergraduates, Taught Postgraduates, Postgraduate Research
It is expected that students maintain good academic practice during their studies at the University and that they take ownership in learning about, and demonstrating, academic integrity in their work. Students must avoid all forms of academic malpractice and alert the University to any challenges they face, whether in terms of their understanding of academic integrity or if they have mitigating circumstances affecting their studies.
The University will encourage and support students to learn about academic integrity and how it applies to their work. When a case of academic malpractice is suspected, the University will consider cases carefully, allocating cases to an appropriate level for handling, and where cases are proven, there will be a proportionate penalty applied.
You should contact your School or Programme Office for specific advice about academic malpractice procedures.
