The course is designed to provide you with guidance and information about proper citation and attribution in writing. All postgraduate students are required to take a compulsory online course in plagiarism awareness. In light of the College’s requirement for all doctoral theses to be submitted electronically, the Graduate School, in conjunction with the Library, has developed an online course entitled Plagiarism Awareness. There is no limit to the amount of times you can take the course – it can be accessed anytime, so there will always be an opportunity to refresh your understanding. If at the end of the course, you feel that you might require additional guidance; directions will be given to alternative sources of information and advice.

The Plagiarism Awareness course is compulsory for all 1st year Doctoral students and MUST be completed before the 9 month Early Stage Assessment (ESA).
