Celebration Month
We are celebrating Academic Integrity month from 27 October to the end of November 2025. Academic integrity means committing to honesty in academic work, giving credit where we've used others' ideas and being proud of our own achievements. This year's celebratory theme is: Critical Minds. Responsible AI: Exploring technology with curiosity, integrity, and critical insight.
Critical Thinking is the ability to independently analyse facts, data, information, and opinions to form an evaluation and engage in debate.

Last academic year, we celebrated in February 2025 and focused on taking your university skills into professional life.
The competition invited students to make a creative submission answering the question: How can academic integrity set you up for professional integrity in the workplace?
We received many fantastic entries, which we are proud to present here.Link opens in a new window
