Avoiding an academic penalty: Ethics approval for BUBS UG dissertations and projects

Authors: Bardsley, W. and Biggins, D.

Conference: FLIE conference 2025

Abstract:

Each year most UG BUBS students complete a dissertation or project as part of their final year. Students are required to comply with the ethics process and gain approval for primary data capture and secondary data usage. Failure to do so constitutes an academic penalty. This project sought to help students and staff comply with BU policy. What we thought would be a case of combining ethics applications with supervisor allocations proved to be a lot more complicated by the time we completed the project.
