Find out how to locate and access Australian and international theses

Finding theses online and in print

This guide shows you how to find Masters and PhD theses, online and in print, from:
  • The University of Melbourne
  • Other Australian universities
  • Outside Australia

 

Why use theses?

Theses can be a valuable source of information, especially for topics where there are fewer published works available.

The references or works cited in a thesis can also be useful to find further published sources on a topic.

If you are currently writing a thesis (Honours, Masters or PhD) you may want to:

  • check if anyone has recently completed a PhD thesis in your area of research internationally
  • look at PhD theses from your faculty (or supervised by your supervisor) to get an idea of how to format your thesis.
