4.9 Plagiarism
Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own, with or without consent of the original author, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement constitutes plagiarism. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition, as is the use of material generated wholly or in part through use of artificial intelligence (save when use of AI for assessment has received prior authorisation e.g. as a reasonable adjustment for a student’s disability). Plagiarism can also include re-using your own work without citation. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence.
Please see the University’s guidance on plagiarism:
