University of Canberra is a participant in the Australasian Digital Thesis Program (ADT). This national initiative provides fulltext online access to Australian doctoral and masters theses from contributing universities. You can search for titles from individual institutions or across the ADT  database.

From 2002, all new UC doctoral and masters theses, for which authors have given us permission to digitize, are being made available online. This is an ongoing project; the number of theses available online will increase as we obtain permission retrospectively from authors to include their theses in this project.

Check also the UC Library catalogue for a full list of UC theses. For most theses submitted prior to 2002 you will find there is a lending copy of the thesis available for loan to UC staff and students.

UC students undertaking higher degrees should refer to the Higher Degrees by Research: Policy and Procedures (the UC Gold Book) which sets out University policy and practice relating to doctor of philosophy (PhD), professional doctorate by research and masters by research programs and candidature.

UC research theses completed prior to 2005 are being made available progressively on ADT.  In the case where copyright clearance has not been granted, the title page, contents list and abstract only are deposited. The number of theses available in their entirety will increase as the University obtains retrospective permission from authors to include their work.

If you are the author of a thesis written before 2005, and you wish your thesis to be loaded into ADT, please email e-theses@canberra.edu.au  for advice on how to proceed.
