Academic Integrity is essential for the successful completion of your studies.

If you do not understand how to properly paraphrase from appropriate sources and correctly reference your work, you risk accidentally committing academic misconduct, such as plagiarism, collusion or cheating. This may result in you failing an assignment or a module. Repeated academic misconduct can lead to more serious consequences.

All student work submitted at GBS is thoroughly checked by anti-plagiarism software to ensure it is your own work and not the work of someone else. Our anti-plagiarism software will compare your work to a wide variety of sources including websites, e-books, student assessments from across the world, journal articles and many more.

If your work is suspected of academic misconduct, you may be invited to an interview to explain how you undertook the assessment and to check your understanding of the topic area(s). If you are unable to adequately explain the above, your work will be sent to a BSU Academic Misconduct Panel for appropriate penalties to be applied.
