Daily Telegraph: Half of Cambridge students admit cheating

Half of students at Cambridge University have admitted cheating, according to new figures.

A survey shows 49 per cent of undergraduates have plagiarised work whilst studying at the university.

Law students were the worst offenders with 62 per cent of them breaking the university plagiarism rules, according to student newspaper Varsity.

The university is now planning to introduce special plagiarism detection software to tackle the problem.
