Generative AI for Students: Ethics & Academic Integrity is for university students in all subject areas who want to use generative AI tools responsibly in study, research and academic writing.

The course introduces what AI tools can and cannot do, how they may support academic work, and where careful judgement is needed. You will explore issues such as plagiarism, authorship, academic integrity, bias, and data sensitivity, while developing a more critical and reflective approach to AI use. Through practical examples, you will learn how to evaluate AI tools, recognise their limits, and decide when and how they can be used appropriately in a university context. No prior technical knowledge is required, making the course accessible to learners from any discipline. By the end of the course, you will be better prepared to make informed choices about AI, use it in ways that support learning, and maintain good academic practice in your own work.
