Celebrating Academic Integrity
February 2025 marks Academic Integrity Celebration Month. This year, we're focusing on professional integrity and taking your university skills into professional life.
Professionalism is the ability to be reliable, set your own high standards, and show you care about every aspect of your job by being industrious and organised, and holding yourself accountable for your thoughts, words, and actions.
You can visit the SU Advice Centre, Library and Warwick Award teams at our pop-up events, enter our creative competition, and join the discussion on academic integrity and professional conduct in the world of work.

Professionalism
Professionalism is one of the Warwick Award's 12 Core Skills. Professionalism is the ability to be reliable, set your own high standards, show you care about every aspect of your job by being industrious and organised, and hold yourself accountable for your thoughts, words, and actions.
You might develop this skill by balancing competing deadlines to still complete all assessments and coursework on time, thoroughly proof-reading and editing coursework before it is submitted, and representing your course-mates' views to University staff.
- Take an introductory Moodle course on Warwick Award's 12 core skills
- Use our self-reflection toolkit to reflect on your learnings
Self-awareness
Self-awareness is one of the Warwick Award's 12 Core Skills. Self-awareness is the ability to be aware of your own personality, strengths, and emotions, then learn and develop accordingly.
You might develop this skill by reflecting on your experiences for the Warwick Award, undergoing training to build skills you don’t feel confident in and identifying what else you need to do to practise them further, joining a course in a format you’ve never experienced before, and carefully examining your principles and perspectives in relation to other peoples’.
- Take the Moodle course on self-awareness
- Use our self-reflection toolkit to reflect on your learnings
Ethical values
Ethical values are part of the Warwick Award's 12 Core Skills. Ethical values are the ability to operate in the workplace with high moral standards – namely being fair, respectful, compassionate, honest, and responsible – as well as negotiate the sometimes-difficult situation of taking responsibility for your own actions.
You might develop this skill by being accurate and honest with referencing in academic writing, not fabricating experiment results, and mentoring a school student through an outreach project.

- Use our self-reflection toolkit to reflect on your learnings
