Guidance for students on using Generative AI

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) tools can generate text, images, and videos, to support you in developing ideas, help in data analysis and coding, and more. While these tools offer exciting possibilities, it's important to understand how to use them responsibly in your studies at the University.

Using GenAI tools in your studies and assessments

GenAI can be a valuable learning aid for non-assessed tasks. It can help explain complex topics, generate ideas, assist with proofreading, and create personalised study materials. However, you must always verify a GenAI’s output using your critical thinking skills to address ethical considerations and check accuracy. For assessed coursework, you must disclose any use of GenAI.

You can learn about the acceptable use of GenAI in your studies and assessments with the guidance below.
