The Format of a Dissertation

• Two copies of your word-processed dissertation must be handed in. They do not need to be formally bound, but each copy should be stapled together, and have a standard coversheet on the front. Dissertation Format
• The dissertation should be no longer than 60 pages (but this limit does not include any appendices or references as described below, or the title and contents pages, etc.). This is a hard upper limit.
• Left margin of 37mm (to allow for copies to be stapled, or possibly bound), right margin of 25mm;
• Single line spacing (or alternatively line spacing of 1.1 or 1.2);
• Font size not less than 11pt and not greater than 12pt (chapter and section headings may be larger);
• Times Roman or Computer Modern font families;
• All pages should be numbered, including the appendices;
• Each page should have a relevant header, centered at the top of the page (for example, "Chapter 3. Requirements and Analysis"). Dissertation Format
