  • files for the document classes (.zip)
  • documentation of uiobachelorthesis (.pdf)
  • documentation of uiomasterthesis (.pdf)
  • documentation of uiophdthesis (.pdf)

Package for creating official front pages for bachelor's theses, master's theses and other documents:

  • files for the package uiomasterfp (.zip)
  • documentation of uiomasterfp (.pdf)

Note that front cover, colophon and back cover of PhD theses is created and added by Graphic centre.

Letter template

What is LaTeX?

LaTeX is an advanced alternative to word processors such as Microsoft Word. It was originally created for documents containing a lot of mathematical formulas, but is suitable for almost any kinds of articles, reports, theses, books and other publications.

LaTeX documents are created in a different manner from what we are used to with Word and similar programmes: The document is set in code, rather than through direct editing and formatting on the screen (WISYWIG).
