We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) can be a helpful tool when preparing your application. AI can guide you, but only your own words and experiences truly matter – we want to see the real you. All examples and statements must be your own, accurate, and reflect your true experience and values. AI tools do not understand context, think critically, and assess the reliability of information, which means AI‑generated responses can feel generic and may not accurately represent who you are.

We recruit fairly and inclusively showing your real self is what helps you succeed. For more information please .
