Plagiarism and Academic Malpractice

Plagiarism is a form of academic malpractice which many students fail to understand and hence may be subject to disciplinary action which, depending on severity, can extend up to dismissal from the MSc programme.

To help you understand this, there is an on-line course available. All students must take this on-line course and complete it before the end of week 1 of Semester 1. This is a compulsory part of your MSc.

Other guidance on plagiarism is available from the University website and in Appendix * of this Handbook.

N.B. All Modular/ Part-Time Students should complete the on-line plagiarism course during the first year of their studies, as early as possible in the first cycle of study.
