Plagiarism, submitting bought or commissioned work, double submission (also known as self-plagiarism), collusion and fabrication of results are not allowed because they violate this principle.
It is vital that every student reads and understands the University's guidance on the use of unfair means in the Code of Practice. All students must read these webpages in full to ensure you understand what constitutes unfair means, how you can avoid using unfair means, methods of detecting unfair means, and what the consequences of using unfair means may be.
