👤 Candidate Information
🤖 Section 1: AI Tool Usage Declaration

I declare that this thesis is my own original work, except where due acknowledgement is made. Where GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) TOOLS were used in the preparation of this thesis, I have documented them below:

Leave blank if you did NOT use any AI tools
Describe how AI was used in your research or writing process
✅ Section 2: No AI Usage Declaration

All Gen AI-assisted contributions have been critically reviewed, validated, and edited by me to ensure academic integrity, accuracy, and scholarly quality. I accept full responsibility for the originality and integrity of the work submitted.

⚠ī¸ Important Notes for Candidates
  • Examiners are briefed to focus on scholarly content, argumentation, and original contribution.
  • Generative AI tools may support aspects of writing or idea development, but they cannot replace your own scholarly contribution, critical analysis, and intellectual engagement.
  • If a thesis is produced primarily by AI without substantive candidate engagement, this will become evident during the mandatory viva-voce examination.
  • FAILURE TO ACCURATELY DISCLOSE GENERATIVE AI USAGE MAY RESULT IN REFERRAL TO THE ACADEMIC INTEGRITY COMMITTEE, WITH PENALTIES RANGING FROM MANDATORY CORRECTIONS TO THESIS REJECTION.
