Students are therefore responsible for ensuring that their work is not plagiarised, and note that this includes ensuring that any work stored on the departmental and/or university computer systems is suitably protected.  

• Note that the school reserves the right to exact any penalties which are in accordance with the University's code of practice on plagiarism.

• The School has its own set of regulations concerning plagiarism. The Department takes this issue very seriously, and students should note that on occasions in the past some very serious penalties have indeed been applied, including reduction of module mark to zero, and overall reduction of degree class.

• Additionally: Plagiarizing any part of the assignment will result in getting a ZERO in the whole assignment.
