Dissertations and Theses
Print Dissertations
Selected student dissertations are held in the University Library. They are mainly at undergraduate level, but some are for taught Masters degrees. They are available for 4-week loan, with the exception of Business School dissertations, which are 7-day loan. Holdings are variable but generally, dissertations are kept only for five years and are of an upper second or first class grade. Dissertations are kept separately from other bookstock and do not receive a class number, but are shelved by course title and year.
Search for dissertations in the Library Catalogue by changing the drop-down Collection box to Student Dissertations.

You can search for these items in the Library Catalogue, by selecting Theses from the drop-down Collection box. You must then request your selected theses at the Issue Desk .
