Academic honesty means always giving full credit for any other people’s contributions to our own achievements (i.e. by full and correct referencing) and never falsifying the results of any research.
Academic honesty is fundamental to the values promoted by the University and no student should be allowed to obtain for themselves, or for someone else, an unfair advantage as a result of academic dishonesty, whether this is by plagiarism, collusion with another, cheating, or other means.
The University takes any instances of academic misconduct very seriously and expects all of its students to behave in a manner which upholds the principles of academic honesty.
You can view the full guide to academic conduct to ensure you are doing everything possible to avoid misconduct scenario, by clicking the link in the heading.
Sometimes when you’re at University things don’t go quite to plan. Our Mitigation Process is here for you if you need it. The process can support you through unexpected situations that affect your ability to complete an assessment, such as illness or a family crisis.
Find out more by follow the link above or watching the short YouTube video created to walk you through the process.
For exam assessments only, students who prefer to place references/citations in brackets within the text (in-line referencing) rather than in footnotes, could discount these references/citations when calculating the word count.
This means there are slightly different rules for word count calculation depending on whether your assessment is an exam or coursework. If you are not sure whether your module assessment is an exam or coursework for this purpose, please check with your module convenor.
Remember that questions have been set by your module team with the word limit in mind. Exceptional marks can still be achieved within the word limit. It is natural to want more words to say all the things you want to say, but you don’t need more words to do well – focus on the question and the issues, select your material with care, and write precisely and concisely.
If you have questions relating to a module, or assessment in a particular module, please use the relevant subject ELE discussion/Q&A forum, and/or make an appointment to see your tutor in their office hours. If you would like general study advice, your personal tutor will be happy to help you, and there are lots of other study skills resources on our ELE pages.

Operating throughout June and July each year, the Students on the Move scheme allows University students living in private accommodation to have non-recyclable waste collected for FREE- in addition to their normal bi-weekly collection. This scheme has helped to reduce fly-tipping and has taken the stress out of the busy ‘moving out’ period.
