Graduate Research School

Look at theses in other disciplines as well as your own to research the different ways students present them.

Finding theses

You will find theses:

• in the Scholars' Centre of the Reid Library
• listed in the library catalogue (restrict your search to 'UWA theses')
• through UWA Library's digital theses repository.

Other research

You should also:

• read literature about writing dissertations
• attend workshops on research and thesis writing
• familiarise yourself with the assessment criteria for PhD and master's theses.

Also consult the online lecture What makes a good PhD thesis? by Prof Matthew Knuiman, Prof John Cordery, and A/Prof Andrew Lynch (Sept 2007).

The OAK Law Project provides a guide to copyright as it relates to theses.
