Thesis and Project Guidelines

M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. theses

M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. students are required to submit:

• their thesis electronically to SGS (instructions here); and
• one bound copy of the thesis to the supervisor.

The format and binding requirements are as follows:

• double-spaced typescript on one side of good quality, standard letter-size paper. Pages should be properly numbered, and provided with adequate margins (left-hand margin at least 1-1/4" and remaining three margins at least 3/4"). For more information, have a look at the SGS instructions for formatting a thesis.
• the binding of theses should be good quality buckram hard-cover, with gold lettering. The particular MIE format of the imprints on the front cover and spine (known at U of T Press as Jones-style) is portrayed here. Colour scheme: blue for Ph.D. theses, red for M.A.Sc. theses.

M.Eng. project report

M.Eng. students who have completed a project are required to submit:

• a pdf file of the project to the Graduate Studies Office (via email () or in person), to be uploaded into T-Space; and
• one bound copy of the project report to the supervisor.

When submitting the pdf file, please indicate your name, student number, the name of your supervisor, and the project title. If release of your thesis must be postponed (for up to two years) due, for example, to an arrangement with a company, also let us know that when you submit the file and we'll delay uploading it.

The format and binding requirements for the report are the same as for M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. theses (above), except that the colour scheme is orange.
