your work for textual similarities with a database of thousands of academic sources, student papers and
websites to produce an originality report which our teaching teams use to investigate possible
plagiarism. This is a compulsory exercise to inform decisions on whether an assignment’s content is
plagiarised. To enable this process through Turnitin, you will be required to accept the Turnitin End User
