Academic MISCONDUCT
In order to safeguard our academic standards and the integrity of our awards the University has procedures in place for dealing with suspected academic misconduct. The procedure details types of academic misconduct, such as cheating in an examination, plagiarism, collusion and fabrication, how suspected offences are investigated and the penalties that can be imposed. The procedure also details students’ rights of appeal in cases relating to academic misconduct.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as the presentation of the work of others as the writer’s own without appropriate acknowledgement. This includes auto-plagiarism (to use excerpts from his or her previous work without appropriate acknowledgement) and self-plagiarism (to submit one piece of work more than once, for example, where such has been previously submitted for a different assignment). It is an academic offence for students to plagiarise.
