Submission of Theses at Bradford

Guidance for the submission of theses at Bradford is available on the University website produced by the HUB.

British Universities Theses

British Universities Theses are indexed by the Index to Theses. The database contains information about almost all PhD theses published in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland since 1970. Details of a small number of masters theses may also be found here.

Index to Theses is available on-campus without a password. Off-campus users will be asked to login with their University of Bradford UserID and password.

The vast majority of non-Bradford items described in Index to Theses are available through Inter Library Loans. Alternatively, you may wish to use the British Library's EThOS service which provides access to digitised theses from participating UK institutions.
