Academic Honesty Policy for Staff and Students#
The Academy expects that the work which students submit for course assessment or in examination is a result of their own ideas, creative thinking and research, unless the other sources of the work submitted are acknowledged. This expectation of academic honesty applies to course assignments, essays, papers, creative projects, research projects, work in examinations, presentations, and any other kind of submission required by the relevant academic programme.
Breaching the academic honesty policy can lead to serious consequences and may result in disciplinary actions. Please observe the Academic Honesty Policy carefully.
