Depositing your thesis in the library

Most doctoral candidates are required, by the Examination Committee, to make some amendments to their thesis. When you have completed your amendments, they must be approved by your School. Usually the internal examiner oversees this process and confirms, via email to the FGR Exams team, that you have met all the conditions in your Examination Outcome report. You must wait to receive an email from the Exams Team advising you that you may deposit one PDF version of your thesis in the University Library.

How to deposit your thesis in the library

For information on how to submit your thesis, and for formatting guidelines, please visit the library website.

For files sizes over 1GB please contact the library.

If the Dean FGR has granted your request to withhold access to your thesis, you can use the Library thesis self-deposit tool. You must also deposit the letter granting you withholding permission. Note that you do not need to apply for permission for theses for study at the IIML.

Please contact the Library Research Services Team if you have any questions.

Year of deposit

Please ensure that the year included on the title page is the year of deposit in the Library, not the year you submitted your thesis for examination.

Thesis availability

Once in the Library, your thesis may be consulted, borrowed and copied in accordance with the regulations. The electronic version will be published online via the Open Access Repository. If you wish to embargo your thesis, please readthe Withholding of Theses Procedure to find out more about when this is possible and the procedure for requesting to withhold access.
