Selection of recent print theses. Here at the David Wilson Library, University of Leicester we still have a print collection of 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.
