How can I find a PhD thesis or master's dissertation?

We don't generally hold Masters' Dissertations but your department may have some either in print or on Moodle. See our guide to dissertations and research projects for more information,

UCL PhD theses in digital format can be found in UCL Discovery, but please note that some theses have restrictions on access, at least for a certain period of time.

Records can also be found in Explore. If we have a print copy, it may need to be requested from the Library Stores in advance of a visit.

Current UCL students and staff can also access ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Global which contains over a million full-text dissertations and theses from 1861 onwards that are available for download in PDF format.
