E-thesis:
advice and
resources about the submission of electronic theses
Postgraduate students must submit an electronic copy of their thesis in addition to the traditional hardbound printed copies. The e-thesis will be stored in e-Prints, the University's research repository, and will nomally be made immediately and freely available via the web. e-Prints is indexed by Google and other search engines, so your thesis can be discovered by other researchers using a simple web search - and then hopefully read and cited.
This page links to advice and resources to help you understand the issues raised by e-theses and to make the production of a lengthy electronic document as easy as possible.
