Use of artificial intelligence:

• Students are asked to always disclose the use of AI tools (ChatGPT®, Grammarly®, Deepl®…) and specify the exact tasks for which they were used.
  • Using AI to write entire sections of the report (multiple sentences) including literature references is prohibited.
  • Unauthorized use will be identified based on typical AI writing patterns, fabricated references, and verification of the student’s knowledge during the oral defence.
  • If such use is detected, the grade is “0”. The MPHM jury and the ESP dean will be informed. In cases of recurrence or multiple infractions, a disciplinary procedure is initiated.
