Use EThOS to search for and order most British PhD theses. You can search the EThOS database without logging in but to order and download theses you must log in and, if a first time user, register and accept the terms & conditions. Theses will be available in a digitised, electronic format, some for immediate free download, others may take up to 10 days to be supplied if they have not been digitised already.

There are some UK institutions which are not yet participating in the full open access EThOS service, these are listed on EThOS. You may find that when ordering a thesis from one of these institutions there is a £40 charge for the first digitised copy. The Library’s Interlending & Document Supply Service may instead be able to borrow a copy for you at the standard £2 charge. Make your request in the usual way using the Interlending Service and indicate that you have already searched EThOS.

University of Cambridge theses are not available through EThOS, nor can they be borrowed directly through Interlending.

British MA/MSc theses can be requested via the Interlending Service.
