The University of Auckland Masters Thesis Regulations have undergone a few exciting updates recently and two major changes are important for all Masters students.
These changes relate to the submission of your Masters thesis to Te Tumu Herenga | University of Auckland Library:
- Masters students are only required to submit a digital version of their final, corrected thesis to ResearchSpace: The University of Auckland Research Repository. Hard copy theses are no longer required.\ Find out more about ResearchSpace
- Research Masters theses (theses or research portfolios of at least 90 points) uploaded to ResearchSpace: The University of Auckland Research Repository will automatically be made Open Access, unless specifically embargoed by the author*.\ Find out more about Open Access and how to apply for an embargo
