A guide to using AI in your academic studies.

FAQs

Can I use AI in my assignments?

Your course will set out the guidelines for use of AI in assignments, so your tutors, course handbook and assignment brief should be where you check in regards to AI use. You can also see the University advice on AI here.

How do I reference AI?

As AI generated content has been created by another author, it has to be referenced, as any other source does. The library has guides for this on our referencing page;

Have our University Regulations changed in light of the developments in GenAI?

The Academic Misconduct Regulations have been updated in section 10.1 to take account of developments in GenAI.

Which tools are there and how do I use it?

GenAI tools can do a lot of different things such as producing text, images, databases and writing computer code.

ChatGPT was the first widely available tool, and a version of that tool is available to all staff and students in Microsoft Bing. It is important to be aware of the University’s guidance around the limitations and ethical considerations when using AI tools.
