Frequently asked questions

Can I use Generative AI tools to write my DMU Global application?

Our application form is designed to help you share meaningful answers that reflect your personal thoughts, feelings, experiences and motivations for participating in our opportunities. Therefore, using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and others to write or generate content for your application is not permitted.

You may wish to use generative AI tools ethically to help you generate ideas or research the destination, but the answers in your application must be entirely your own work.

We actively check for the use of generative AI and reserve the right to reject any applications that have been created using these tools.
