Students undertaking summative assessment must - complete summative assessment in line with the declaration as to whether and how AI can be used in each specific assignment they will complete for their course. - acknowledge their use of AI as part of the summative assessment submission and use a formal declaration in the format prescribed by the assessment setter. - be aware that submitting work that breaches the specifications defined for a particular assignment constitutes cheating and may constitute plagiarism; cases of suspected unauthorised use of AI will be handled under the usual disciplinary Regulations and using the associated processes.
The University's policy on AI use in summative assessment is based on three principles endorsed by Education Committee in Trinity term 2025: (1) educational practice must be grounded in values of integrity, honesty and transparency, which must be clearly articulated and frequently discussed; (2) every discrete unit of assessment must be carefully designed to be fit for its specific purposes, clearly articulated to students; (3) every summative assessment must be accompanied by a clear explanation of what appropriate assistance is permitted and what is forbidden, specifying how students should report assistance received.

Accessing these tools via Single Sign-On (SSO) ensures that user data is not used to train external AI models. Confidential data must only be used with the University's approved, SSO-protected platforms.
For PGR students, the following uses of generative AI are not permitted in summative assessments: substantive original writing by GenAI (verbatim or closely paraphrased for chapters or parts thereof) which constitutes plagiarism; using AI to produce plots or data visualisations directly from prompts; and entering private or confidential data into third-party AI tools.
Agent reviewed
Substantive original writing by Gen AI, including either verbatim or closely paraphrased use of Gen AI content, for, e.g., chapters, or parts of chapters, including introduction or conclusion chapters or for a literature review, would fall under the definition of plagiarism or be otherwise a failure of research integrity and is therefore not permissible. The use of generative AI to produce plots or data visualisations directly from prompts is prohibited. Private or confidential data must not be entered into third-party AI tools.

Students remain responsible for correctness of any code used.
Agent reviewed
The use of local editing tools—such as grammar assistants, code debuggers, and spell-checkers—is permitted and need not be declared. These tools only make small, local changes (for example, fixing spelling, grammar, or small pieces of code), usually affecting just a few words or tokens at a time. The use of AI tools for background research, language translation, creation of bibliography indices and general subject understanding is allowed and does not have to be declared. Use of Gen AI for coding purposes is permitted, where the coding serves a purpose in the research but is not the substantive output of the project.

Unauthorised use of AI falls under the plagiarism regulations and would be subject to academic penalties in summative assessments. Where the use of generative AI in preparing work for examination has been authorised by the department, faculty or programme, students should give clear acknowledgment of how it has been used in their work.
