The University offers an in-house training programme on research ethics to strengthen awareness of ethical concepts in four domains: (a) Human Subject Ethics, (b) Laboratory Animals Ethics, (c) Survey and Behavioural Ethics, and (d) Publication Ethics.

All research postgraduate students and taught doctoral students admitted in 2017-18 and thereafter must complete an online RET module on "Publication Ethics" offered by the Research Office (RO) (formerly known as “Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer Services (ORKTS)”) and obtain a valid Publication Ethics Certificate for graduation.
