With effective and responsible use, artificial intelligence (AI) can be a useful tool to aid learning. However, its use must be guided by principles of academic integrity and with awareness of the risks it poses, when not used with care
Generative AI, sometimes called gen AI, can create original content—such as text, images, video, audio or software code—in response to your prompt or request.
We encourage you to use AI in your studies
To aid your learning, for example to find material on a topic that you will then consider and explore in more depth.
To support your expression and use of the English language. The use of tools such as Microsoft Editor in Word and Grammarly is permitted to check and get suggestions for spelling and grammar. However, you must not copy and paste directly from an AI tool as your written English is an assessed element of all work written in the English language, and submitted work must always be your own.
Support for using AI effectively
Support for using AI effectively and with academic integrity is available from our Academic and Digital Skills Team.
If you use AI in the process of undertaking your assignment, for example to create an outline of your assignment or to summarize articles, you should acknowledge this by adding a declaration at the end of your work.
