[This template for licentiate thesis is made by the library team Research support and publishing. Revised March,2026].

[Things to keep in mind!

[Read the instructions before you start!]

[Only the pages up to the last page of the reference list should have page numbers and be included in the table of contents. Therefore, use headings in the correct places - see instructions further down.]

[After a chapter, the next chapter starts on the next odd page. Keep this in mind when you add more chapters - see instructions further down in the template].

[Depending on what kind of thesis you are writing, you can remove, for example, appended papers if it is not needed]

[Don't touch the dark blue "thumbnails" in the appended papers - the printing house will fix it]

[All help text is written in brackets and mostly written in Arial. Tab this as well as the lorem ipsum text as you write.]

[Possible pictures for the cover, possible publications and the document Thesis information should be sent separately to the printing house]
