Graduate Research School

Some costs associated with printing and temporarily binding your work are paid by your school.

Temporary binding must be either thermal, spiral or clamp binding with a cover of cardboard, light card, heavy paper or plastic.

Ring or comb binding is recommended.

Binding can be carried out by:

• the Guild printing service
• Uniprint. 

If you choose these services, you should obtain a T-Form from your school specifically for the cost of the temporary binding.You can also choose an external company to bind your work.

Do not combine the cost of temporary and permanent binding on one form.
