Academic integrity

Academic Integrity is defined by the International Center for Academic Integrity as embodying six values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage (ICAI, 2019). If these values are adhered to then assessment will be fair.

Personal Academic Tutoring

There are many benefits to the learning experience for students who engage with their Personal Academic Tutor. It also provides academics with the opportunity to engage with all of their students to track their learning while at the University.

Improving the staff-student relationship

Timely Feedback

The Timely Feedback Policy is in place to ensure that the University provides a consistent and fair approach to the provision of feedback to assessments while providing adequate time for academics to complete their work.

Please see Marking Procedures

digital learning capture

The University supports an ‘inclusive curriculum’ approach that seeks to make learning resources available to all students rather than only to those with a registered disability and on an ad-hoc basis. The recording of lectures and other learning content is a valuable resource from which all students can benefit.
