Graduates from this course may look forward to obtaining well-paid employment in many of the sectors of commerce that currently place a heavy reliance on plagiarism: daytime television (presenting and producing); takeaway pizza advertising; the preparation of political party manifestos; writing chancellors' degree-day speeches; devising "family and children" statements for discredited politicians; and the compilation of mantras and litanies.
All students will be required to take compulsory courses in the following subject areas:
Constructive photocopying; intermediate and advanced cut-and-paste techniques; disguising critical sources;
counterfeiting names and dates; evading electronic detection tools;
bypassing attributions; wholesale downloading; dubious citations;
makey-uppy quotations; intermediate and advanced paraphrasing; general principles of collusion; and submitting other people's work: theory and practice.
Students on this course will be examined by tutors who are specially trained in the detection of originality. Any sign of such a characteristic in submitted work will attract serious penalties.
In the words of our chief external examiner: "Graduates from this course will not be expected to have a single original idea in their heads."
Successful undergraduate students may consider applying for a place on our newly founded postgraduate course in advanced and contagious plagiarism: MPhil bubonic plagiarism.
We look forward to hearing from you. We look forward to hearing from you.
