• Absolute academic integrity is expected of every student in all academic undertakings. The Faculty takes a serious view of students who plagiarize any previous work (including previous FYPs, journal articles or books).
• Plagiarism is the use of other people's work so that it appears to be your own Rule of thumb: If the idea is not yours, you have to provide the appropriate citation. If the wording is not yours, rephrase and rework the sentence in your own words and provide the reference and the page number(s).
• Be careful to ensure that plagiarism does not occur accidentally. You can quote other people's work, but you must clearly indicate that this is what you are doing, and include the source. Direct quotation of narrative material should always be enclosed in quotation marks and the source of the material cited either immediately before or immediately after the quotation. The full description of the source must be given in the references at the end of the report (for more information about plagiarism and references style please visit:

If the material is paraphrased, it should not be enclosed in quotation marks, but the source should still be stated clearly. Tables, diagrams, etc. copied from elsewhere must also be clearly labeled as such, with reference to the source.
