How do I submit my thesis to the library?
Answer
The University and library no longer require a printed copy of your thesis. You submit and deposit an electronic PDF copy of your thesis via MyPGR.
The electronic PDF copy of your thesis is then archived and preserved via the Leicester Research Archive (Figshare), as part of the online theses collection.
We would only add a printed copy of a thesis to the physical library collections under exceptional circumstances. If you need a printed copy of your thesis stamped and officially acknowledged for your sponsors, then please contact us to arrange this via ethesis@le.ac.uk
You can find full guidance on how to submit your thesis on the Doctoral College site. Their pages also link to the current version of the Research Student Handbook, which contains all formatting guidelines for your thesis.
