Academic Integrity Service

The Academic Integrity Service has been established to raise awareness and enhance understanding of the issues relating to academic integrity in higher education. The Service promotes a holistic approach to academic misconduct, which considers the pedagogical and management responses needed to address issues, such as plagiarism, collusion and cheating.

We are working to support the higher education community

by:

  • providing guidance on developing policies and procedures relating to academic integrity;
  • highlighting resources that enable lecturers to focus on teaching and learning strategies that can help deter student plagiarism;
  • encouraging the sharing of best practice in the area of academic integrity;
  • running and contributing to events that are for educational developers, lecturers and senior managers.

Our approach involves working with Plagiarismadvice.org, professional bodies and agencies to provide higher education institutions with valuable resources and guidance to support the embedding of academic integrity throughout the higher education sector.
