Microsoft Copilot
Copilot is the University recommended AI tool for student use. You can access it through Microsoft 365 (M365) and use it to help with a variety of activities such as finding out more about a topic, suggesting resource materials, summarising information or getting feedback on your grammar, spelling or writing style.
Remember, that it may occasionally provide incorrect information, so review its suggesions carefully.
Please note the University has guidance on the use of AI for assignments. Your tutor will be able to provide specific advice on how this applies to your assessed work.
To learn more about prompting and AI tools, you may want to take this LinkedIn Learning course: How to boost your productivity with AI tools.
