AI in Teaching and Learning Policy
This policy provides a shared framework for the use of AI in assessment at the University. Its primary purpose is to support consistent, transparent assessment expectations in the context of rapidly evolving AI capability, while enabling appropriate use of AI.
It also outlines the expectations for students and staff when using AI in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and learning activities, including assessments and the research/dissertation component.
Framework for Credit Transfer and Grade Conversion of Study Abroad
Students who participate in a study abroad programme that forms part of their degree programme may require the transfer of credits and/or grades. The International Programmes Office have produced a guidance Framework to Schools for the transfer of credits and the conversion of grades obtained at overseas partner universities.
In the interests of transparency, high standards and equal treatment of all students undertaking study abroad, the Framework aims to provide a common basis for those parts of the credit transfer and grade conversion process that can be standardised.
