Ethics and integrity
The University has strict rules around ethical conduct and academic integrity. All candidates should ensure they understand and abide by rules and guidelines, and are aware of the consequences of academic misconduct.
It's a good idea to discuss research ethics with your supervisors, keep comprehensive notes during your reading, reference well, speak up when you come across unethical practices, and contact Research Ethics advisers when you have a query.
