The university regulations state that
“The University, the Students’ Union and the University’s Partner Institutions expect
all students:
- to behave with honesty and integrity in relation to coursework, examinations and
other assessed work;
- to be familiar and act in accordance with the conventions of academic writing
including appropriate referencing of sources and acknowledgement of assistance;
- to show understanding of ethical considerations and be compliant with the relevant
University Procedures.
A student who does not comply with any of these requirements (either intentionally or
by negligence) may be charged with having committed an academic offence.”
(Academic Offences Procedures)
“The following are some examples of academic offences and do not constitute an
exhaustive list:
a. plagiarism, that is, using or copying the work of others (whether written, printed or
in any other form) without proper acknowledgement in any assignment, examination
or other assessed work;
b. self-plagiarism, that is, using or copying one’s own work that has previously been
submitted for assessment, at the University or elsewhere, without proper
acknowledgement in any assignment, examination or other assessed work, unless
this is explicitly permitted;
c. false authorship, that is the submission of work for assessment that has been written
wholly or in part by a third party and presented as one’s own original work;
d. collusion, that is, submitting work produced collaboratively for individual
assessment, unless this is explicitly permitted and acknowledged;
e. falsifying data or evidence;
f. conducting research without obtaining ethical approval from the University where
such approval is required, or the unauthorised use of information that has been
confidentially acquired;
g. introducing, or attempting to introduce, any written, printed or electronically
accessible information into an examination, other than material explicitly permitted in
the instructions for that examination;
h. copying, or attempting to copy, the work of another candidate in an examination;
i. communicating, or attempting to communicate, with another person, other than an
