How to finalise and submit your PhD thesis

A PhD thesis needs to be presented for examination in the correct format and with the right accompanying paperwork.

The University Library has a concise guide (check under 'T' for theses) to the process of submission. This is essential reading for students coming to the end of their thesis.

The Good Writing Guide, adapted for Anthropology, contains standards for grammar and referencing in Sections B and C.

For more on formatting, the Modern Humanities Research Association Style Guide has a wealth of information on document formats, grammar, tables and graphics, footnotes/endnotes, and referencing.
