Selection of recent print theses. |
However, we don't expect people to access the print copy in this day and age.
We make the PDF copy of a thesis openly available to download (where possible) via our Leicester Research Archive, alongside other research publications from the University. We have also digitised and made available the majority of our theses back to the 1920s.
In fact theses are the most popular and most downloaded items in the Leicester Research Archive! You would never get this many people looking at, or reading, a printed thesis!
