Academic integrity
Information about academic integrity and academic misconduct.
Academic integrity is of fundamental value throughout your University studies and beyond.
It involves a commitment to the core values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility in all academic endeavours.
Being motivated and consistently working with academic integrity will not only help you to make the most out of your learning experience and gain better marks, but it will also earn you and the University a fantastic reputation.
Academic misconduct
Individuals sometimes fail to act with academic integrity in an attempt to gain an unfair advantage in an assessment. This is often termed academic misconduct and it will be dealt with in accordance with University procedures. Academic misconduct includes unintentional acts, where students have not familiarised themselves with good academic practice.
A full description of academic misconduct can be found in the academic misconduct section of our Code of Practice for Assessment.
