Search across 250,000+ theses for free and order for full text quickly and easily. 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.
OATD aims to be the best possible resource for finding open access graduate theses and dissertations published around the world.
