Doctoral theses
The Library stores a print copy of every doctoral thesis (PhD, EdD, DClin, DBA, etc.) completed at the University of Warwick, up to 2024. Print theses can be searched via Library Search and can be requested via the Library’s ‘Click and Collect’ service. The thesis will be retrieved from the external store and made available to view at the Modern Records Centre. Please note, print theses are REFERENCE only and cannot be checked out of the Library or MRC. From July 2024, Doctoral theses awarded after this date will be stored in electronic format only. Digital copies are uploaded, stored, and made available on WRAP, and are discoverable through Library Search.
Redacted Theses
If an electronic thesis on WRAP has been redacted due to the inclusion of copyrighted materials, where possible, the original unredacted copy can be made available to view in electronic or (when available) print copy in the MRC reading rooms. Please send a request to view unredacted theses to ethos.library@warwick.ac.uk.
Masters by Research theses
Theses submitted for a Masters by Research degree (MA, MSc, M Phil, LLM, MS or MMedSci) are not available on WRAP and can be viewed by request only. All print and electronic Masters by Research theses that have been submitted to the Library are discoverable on Library Search. Print holdings held pre-2024 can be requested via Library Search using the ‘Click and Collect’ service.
From July 2024, new Masters by Research theses will be held in electronic format only and will only be available to view by sending an email request to ethos.library@warwick.ac.uk. Please state the author name, thesis title, and department of the MRes thesis you would like to view. The thesis will be made available to view in the MRC reading rooms.
