Sydney's Macquarie University has revoked two degrees and prevented 10 students from graduating after they were caught using a ghost-writing website to complete their assignments.
An independent investigation by the university, in Sydney's northwest, found 36 students guilty of cheating by using a website called MyMaster to submit course work.
Fail grades have been handed down to all 36 students, including 10 who have been prevented from graduating as "they no longer meet the academic requirements for their degree", a university spokesperson said in a statement.
Two graduates had their degrees revoked.
The remaining students will have to complete an ethics assignment and will remain on probation until they complete their studies.
