Hard binding

Following the examination and the completion of any required corrections, the thesis should be permanently bound and submitted with a higher degree schedule and any fees payable.

Number of copies required is as follows:

One hard bound copy lodged with the Postgraduate Office and one electronic submission to the University Library's on-line publications service: discovery.dundee.ac.uk

Or

Two copies should be lodged with the Postgraduate Office for onward transmission to the University Library which may, on request, issue one of those copies to the student's Department.
