EThOS - UK dissertations and thesesThe aim of EThOS is to offer a 'single point of access' where researchers the world over can access ALL theses produced by UK Higher Education.
Many UK institutions support Open Access to their theses, so download of their digital and digitised theses is free to the researcher. A small number of participating institutions may not be able to offer Open Access and in this case the researcher may have to pay for the digitisation. To find downloadable thesis you can use "advanced search" and click "Limit search to items available for immediate download" box.
To download thesis from EThOS you need to register. After registration, log in the system and you have to agree to the terms and conditions of supply of the thesis. Some software is required: Adobe Acrobat, unzipping software (Winzip, etc)
