USE OF AI:
We recognise that AI is now a widely used and valuable tool, and we are happy for applicants to use it to support their success. We simply ask that it is used thoughtfully to help develop and enhance your ideas, rather than do all the work for you. Your application should remain a true reflection of you, your experiences and your personality, so please avoid using AI to exaggerate or embellish beyond the facts, or to the extent that your own natural voice and authentic self are lost.
