We recognise that Generative AI (GenAI) can be a helpful tool when preparing your application. However, we have noticed a growing reliance on AI-generated content, which can sometimes reduce the personal insight and individuality that help us understand your unique skills, experiences, and motivations. If you choose to use GenAI, we encourage you to use it as a tool to support and enhance your application rather than creating your supporting statement entirely.
