What is Academic Integrity?

Academic integrity means being honest and trustworthy in your work to ensure you maintain academic standards. Failing to uphold these standards can lead to academic misconduct. This can often be due to unintentional mistakes like poor or incomplete referencing or improper use of generative Artificial Intelligence tools.

We offer a wealth of resources to support you to develop skills and strategies to ensure you maintain academic integrity in your work.
