Thesis and dissertation LaTeX templates

Before you compile these templates

A thesis class sets the title page, front matter, chapter style and bibliography as a university expects. Most build on the book or report class with biblatex and biber, so the first compile takes longer than a paper's. Use your university's template if there is one: submission rules often cover margins, pagination and the title page. Common packages are geometry for margins, fancyhdr for headers, glossaries for abbreviations, tikz for diagrams and hyperref for links in the table of contents. Each template's page names its engine and document class. Open it in Texeno to compile in one click.
