Find University of Leeds theses
You can find PhD and doctoral theses using our Library search.
The above search allows you to search by keywords, author or title and is set to limit your search results to Theses. If you know exactly the thesis you want, keep the search set to keywords and use the author's family name and one or two key words in the title. This will produce highly relevant search results.
Theses are kept in the Library stores. To access a print thesis, sign in and select “Request it” in the full record. We will email you when it is available. Please allow at least 48 hours.
Theses cannot be taken out of the libraries.
