Applicant assignments/portfolios - AI, plagiarism etc.

What is false or misleading information?
The applicant assignment/portfolio that you attach to your application must be created by you! When applying to Konstfack, you may not use unauthorised aids or plagiarize someone else's work, and then present these as your own work samples.

Plagiarism
Plagiarism is not allowed. Plagiarism is when you copy other people's texts, images or other moving material, without referring to the source. Plagiarism means imitating or copying someone else's work. This can involve different types of creatively produced material, such as images, text or film/video, where you present the material as if it were your own.

Copyright
The Copyright Act protects, among other things, artistic works and is based on the principle that a person who has created a work should have the exclusive right to determine how the work may be used (e.g. images, photographs, or illustrations, including those that may be found on the web).

AI technologies
The use of AI tools/AI techniques is generally not allowed when creating your applicant assignment/ portfolio, but your work samples should be created by yourself. Some of our programmes allow AI-generated images or other techniques to be used in the application. In this case, this is stated in the respective programme's applicant assignment/portfolio description. If the programme you are applying to allows this, it is important that you carefully state how and for which parts of the applicant assignment/portfolio you have used the technology.

Cancellation of admission due to misleading or incorrect information
If you use AI technology in applicant assignment/portfolio without stating this, or if you present applicant assignment/portfolio as your own without referring to the source, this may lead to a decision on admission or a reserve place on a programme being revoked by Konstfack, in accordance with the Swedish Public Administration Act (2017:90 § 37).  Admission Regulations
