• Code of Conduct for Students on the use of AI
• Cite Them Right resource on citing materials relating to AI (if permitted)

As per the academic regulations (Academic Handbook Ah1_08), in all cases you must submit work

including that which is AI generated. Upon submission of work, you will be asked to confirm the
following statement:
I confirm that this assignment is my own work, except where I have acknowledged the use
of works from other sources, including the use of any artificial intelligence (AI) tools, in
accordance with what is allowable as described in the assessment brief.

Please note the following:

• AI should not be used as a substitute for your own knowledge, and you should never
include any material that you do not understand and could not explain if asked.
• Not being able to explain your work when asked is likely to be a key factor when
considering cases of academic misconduct related to AI.

The following information provides specific guidance for this assessment about what level of AI use
is appropriate for this assessment. Remember that in all cases you must submit work that is your
own, acknowledging any part of it that has been provided by another source.

AI ACKNOWLEDGED
• You can use AI tools to learn about your topic, as part of your study, or in
preparing initial guidance on assignments (e.g. headline structure,
suggestions for inclusion of topics).
• Any materials that you have sourced from AI should be rewritten or
reconfigured and integrated into your own work and referenced
appropriately. It is recommended that this is confirmed by a relevant
academic source.
• Any support gained from AI should be acknowledged in a statement at the
end of the assignment, making clear what the support was, and how you
used it and developed it for your own work. Example statements are
available in the Student Code of Conduct.
