Teaching & Learning
- Students may use generative AI in coursework only when it is explicitly permitted by the professor and only in accordance with the professor’s instructions
- Unauthorized use in assignments is treated as academic misconduct, and students remain responsible for verifying and critically assessing any AI-generated content they submit
The use of Generative AI by a student in assessed work can only be considered as a valid, if and only if the use is explicitly authorised by the professor in charge of the course.
Students must therefore strictly comply with the professor's instructions regarding the use of Generative AI in relation to the assessed work and for each assignment.
Unauthorised use of Generative AI is considered as a form of cheating in all assessed work.
The person using Generative AI is solely responsible for checking and validating the data generated before transmitting or integrating this data into a publication.
- Use of generative AI in assessed work, including formal assessments, is only allowed when the professor explicitly authorizes it
- Otherwise, using AI is considered cheating; for in-person exams, candidates are also barred from using unauthorized electronic devices or materials

The use of any material or means not specifically authorised by the invigilator is forbidden.
Candidates are prohibited from using electronic devices and carrying documents (except those required for the exam).
- The student guidance presents AI as a study aid for explanations, revision materials, summaries, brainstorming, and practice exercises, but warns students not to rely on it uncritically
- The school encourages students to use AI as a learning support tool for understanding concepts, practicing, and improving their work, while requiring them to remain critical and verify outputs
Approach AI as a “co-pilot,” not an “autopilot.” You are in charge. Use it to guide and support your work, but always think critically and make your own decisions.
Use AI to improve understanding, not replace thinking. Ask AI to explain concepts, give examples, or quiz you — but always check that you really understand the material yourself.
Use AI to create study support materials. Ask it to generate flashcards, summaries, concept maps, practice questions, or revision plans to help you review more effectively.
In all cases, AI should support your learning, not replace your own thinking, effort, or responsibility.

Academic Integrity
- When AI use is authorized, students are required to follow the professor’s instructions for that assessment
- The student guidance also instructs students to be transparent about how they used AI and to cite it appropriately when required by the instructor or assignment rules

Be transparent. If your lecturer or assignment instructions require it, clearly explain how you used AI and cite it appropriately.
Acknowledge AI use where needed. If your lecturer asks for it or if the assignment guidelines require it, state clearly what tool you used and how you used it.
