Allow plenty of time for the final stages of formatting your dissertation, printing and binding it, and submitting it before the deadline. Make sure you have a back-up plan ready in case you have problems with your printer or there are any other hitches.
When your dissertation is ready, ensure that:
- you have included a title page with the required information on it
- you have included a list of contents if your dissertation has chapters and/or appendices
- the whole document is double spaced
- the left-hand margin is at least 2.5 cm
- page numbers have been inserted
- two copies of the dissertation are printed on A4 paper
- the pages are bound securely, e.g. with comb binding
