Support for dissertations and research projects

The Library holds a copy of most research degree theses completed by students registered at UCL. Print copies of research theses are catalogued by author in Explore; electronic versions are in many cases available on open access in UCL Discovery.

The Library does not normally have copies of UCL:

• MA, MSc, MRes, LLM theses
• Diploma theses
• Undergraduate dissertations

However the following libraries have small local theses collections covering their own subject areas, please contact the relevant library directly for more information:

• Bartlett Library: select exemplars of Masters dissertations are available through UCL's Open Educational Repository.
• Ophthalmology Library has a very small collection of PhD, MD and MSc dissertations.
• Institute of Orthopaedics Library has BSc and MSc theses.
• School of Pharmacy Library has a small collection of MRes theses which date from 2011 – 2014  for reference use in the library. 
• UCL Institute of Education Library has selected masters dissertations, which are findable in Explore. Those published after 2000 are openly accessible in the library. All others must be requested in advance. 
• Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health Library has examples of past MSc and MRes dissertations.
