This page will assist you to find ANU, Australian, and International theses and dissertations to support your research.

ANU theses

To find digital ANU theses, search the thesis collection in the Open Research repository. All ANU theses are in digital form. The majority are open access, but a small number are restricted due to author or copyright restrictions.

To find print ANU theses, enter your keyword/s into the advanced catalogue search and select Theses under Material Type. Hard copies can be viewed in the Library only, and are not available for inter-library lending.  ANU Honours theses are held by the ANU Colleges with the exception of selected ANU Law Honours theses which are held in the Law Library. Some ANU electronic PhD, MPhil, and Doctorate by Research theses, are available in the ANU Digital Theses collection.

For more information on the ANU theses collection visit the theses webpage.

Theses from other universities

To explore theses available in the ANU Library collection from other Australian and overseas universities, enter your keyword into SuperSearch, and select Theses under the Format filter in the left-hand column. Hard copies of non-ANU theses without access restrictions are kept on the open shelves.
