Dissertations and theses are research projects which form part of a degree. We usually use Dissertation for taught degrees, and Thesis for research degrees, eg PhDs, where it is the main form of assessment.

We have a number of examples of good undergraduate and taught post graduate dissertations electronically available on via DISCOVER. If you are struggling to find these contact your Academic Liaison Librarian

Theses

We upload digital copies of PhD and research masters theses and dissertations to our institutional repository, which also holds research outputs from our staff. We have digitised our entire collection of theses, back to the 1970s.

These can also all be found in DISCOVER

Theses from other institutions

You can search for theses held in the repositories of other institutions - try the Open Access Theses and Dissertations site, which gathers content from universities around the world.
