More about plagiarism and cheating
Self-plagiarism
Self-plagiarism means reusing your own work without clearly referring to the source text that is being reused. Your own previously submitted work, such as a thesis or home exam, should be treated as a source and cited accordingly.
Plagiarism check
To detect suspected plagiarism and cheating in written reports and essays, Malmö University uses an automatic plagiarism checker. It works by automatically scanning the submitted document and checking it against, for example, internet sources and material previous submitted by students. The system reacts if there are similarities in the content.
Using unauthorised aids
Using aids that are not authorised in the examination instructions may be considered cheating. If you are unsure about what is allowed and how to complete the exam, contact your teacher.
Collaborating or helping someone else to cheat
If an examination task is to be completed individually and independently, it may be considered cheating to collaborate in the completion of the task. It is also considered cheating to knowingly help someone else to cheat. A student who allows someone else to copy their answers may therefore be subject to disciplinary action.

Measures in case of detected plagiarism and cheating
If the examining teacher considers that there is a well-founded suspicion that a student has attempted to mislead during an examination, the examiner has an obligation to report this to the Vice-Chancellor of Malmö University. The disciplinary consequences for students caught plagiarising or cheating can be severe, resulting in a warning or suspension.

Tuition fees and expenses
Students who are citizens of an EEA country or Switzerland do not pay tuition fees. However, studying does involve other expenses such as purchasing course literature, study materials, travel in connection with placements/internships as well as accommodation and living costs.
The University is not permitted to charge fees or expenses for compulsory activities, such as study trips, unless an equivalent, free-of-charge alternative is also offered. If specific course activities are to take place at a different university, Malmö University is responsible for any fees charged by that institution, while students are responsible for the cost of transport and accommodation.
