Staff setting summative assessment must: declare whether/how students can use AI; review assessment design for alignment with permitted AI use; ensure equality of baseline AI tool provision where authorised; specify declaration forms for student AI use; only identify suspected unauthorised AI use through marking or university-endorsed detection tools (the public page says none had received endorsement at its last update); and handle misconduct under usual disciplinary regulations.

MPLS guidance for DPhil and MSc by Research summative assessment requires a statement on GenAI use in the final thesis for submissions from Trinity Term 2026. The statement goes immediately after the abstract and covers compliance, uses and referencing. This is MPLS guidance, not proof of an identical rule in every division.

For MPLS postgraduate research summative assessment, local editing and debugging tools are permitted without declaration. Background research, translation, bibliography indexes and general understanding are allowed without declaration. AI coding is permitted when it serves a research purpose and is not the substantive project output; students remain responsible for correctness and should declare AI-generated code, excluding debugging.

Oxford’s research policy says users of a discrete GenAI tool should declare substantive use in their work. Where relevant they must make prompts and outputs available under open research principles. Its scope defines exclusions for certain assistance tasks; assessment research must also meet summative-assessment rules.

MPLS postgraduate research guidance prohibits substantive AI-written thesis content, including close paraphrases, and producing plots or data visualisations directly from prompts. It distinguishes refining plotting code from generating research results. Confidential/private data use remains subject to applicable University data rules and approved institutional services.
