produced a very helpful OSCOLA guide for you to follow.
• Bibliography: A bibliography must follow the main body of your work. The
bibliography should also comply with the OSCOLA system. Access the OSCOLA

• Submitting: you must submit an electronic copy of your answer through the
Turnitin submission portal in the “assignment” folder of the module site on
Blackboard. No hard copies are required. Follow the online submitting
assessments guidance page if you need assistance, but note the requirements

ACADEMIC OFFENCES
The use of dishonest means in assessments is considered an Academic Offence and
is treated seriously by the University. Academic Offences can be committed in a range
of ways, and these are listed and explained on the Academic Offences webpage. It’s
important that you familiarise yourself with the different offences to ensure you do not
commit one in your work. This is particularly important for law students, as the legal
regulators may bar you from entry to the legal profession if you have been found to
commit one of these offences.

You are reminded that copying work from any source without full referencing,
or using generative AI, paraphrasing tools, or any other software, program, or
tool to pass off the work of another as your own constitutes an Academic
Offence. The University has a range of tools to assist us in the detection of
Academic Offences.
