We recommend that you use our thesis template. It supplies most of the basic structure required for a thesis, includes a lot of comments about the packages used and should get you started very quickly. This template is mostly self-documenting; that is, the template text explains the template itself and some rules and guidelines.

Getting it

You can download the template as a zip file.

Next steps

To use it, proceed as follows:

• Unpack the zip; you should get a directory called thesis/ with the files in it.
  
• Open thesis.tex in your favourite TeX editor.
• Read the template, both the typeset version and the source code (there are lots of comments).
  
• Once you are ready to start writing, set the "studentwriting" flag to true in the document so that the initial guiding chapters are no longer rendered (instructions in comments) and add your content to the various files (introduction, preliminaries, main part, et cetera).
