PhD Thesis Template for Lancaster University

Some PhD Thesis templates have being designed by different authors. One is by Charles Weir, a Thesis template for Lancaster University, which can be found at
 https://github.com/charlesweir/LUThesisTemplate.

Normally, we may be challenged with how to go around the writing. Are you working on a thesis using Microsoft Word? Some people say that it can be quite difficult to work out thesis formatting from scratch. As such there is a Word template available here by Charles Weir. Using the Word styles it defines makes it easy to make changes throughout the document. It’s quite possible that your department may have different rules about style, content and formatting than the default here. If so, just change the styles accordingly.

Charles Weir made the following changes for Lancaster University use:
•Changed filenames
•Changed font styling (Lancaster makes less use of small caps)
•Put in Logo according to LU brand guidelines; removed college etc.
•Made line spacing double
•Changed declaration to include papers written.
•Fixed some traits that caused problems using it.

Another template considered an excellent professional work by the creators- Kayla Friedman and Malcohm Morgan is designed using Microsoft Word 2010 in both .doc, .docx and .dotx formats, compatible with Microsoft Word 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016 formats. This template is easy to use, and it is automatic. The template they have created is an excellent starting point for any PhD Thesis or Masters Dissertation and is easy to use. It’s free for anybody to use, although an acknowledgment to Kayla and Malcohm is appreciated.
