This research was conducted with the purpose of deepening the understanding of academically dishonest behavior among students. The aim of the research was to investigate the ways in which students express dishonesty in the academic context and to determine the frequency of certain forms of academic dishonesty. The research was conducted using the focus group method. Thirteen participants took part in the research, five of which were male and eight were female. The participants are students of the second and third year of undergraduate studies and the first and second year of graduate studies of different faculties. For the purposes of data collection, questions were designed to which the participants gave answers during conversations in two focus groups. The results of the qualitative analysis of the collected data, relevant to the research questions of this work, are grouped into three thematic units: the ways in which students express academic dishonesty, the frequency of academic dishonesty and the consequences of academic dishonesty. It was found that the participants show academic dishonesty through the following behaviors: copying, using electronic aids, plagiarism, dishonest behavior towards other members of the academic community and failure to fulfill academic obligations. The frequency data indicated that most participants engage in some form of academic dishonesty and the consequence data indicated that there are serious sanctions for academic dishonesty at some faculties, which is reflected in the frequency of this phenomenon. The results of this research can be used for a better understanding of academic dishonesty and for the creation of a program to prevent the occurrence of academic dishonesty.
