Dissertation title page

The title page (or cover page) of your dissertation contains all key information about the document. It usually includes:

• Dissertation title

• Your name

• The type of document (eg dissertation)

• The department and institution

• The degree program (eg Master of Arts)

• The date of submission

It sometimes also includes your student number, your supervisor’s name, and your university’s logo.

Title page format

Your department will usually tell you exactly what should be included on your title page and how it should be formatted. Be sure to check whether there are specific guidelines for margins, spacing and font size.
