Formatting your Thesis

For questions about submission, contact the PGR Lifecycle Team ( [email protected] ). 

For discipline specific formatting questions, please contact your Director of Studies.  

Depositing in Pure

Why deposit in Pure

The main benefit of depositing your work in the institutional Repository is increased access and promotion of your research to others in the field. Theses are likely to be read more widely if they are accessible on the Web, which can provide associated benefits such as increased citations for your research and the potential opportunity to collaborate with others working in your research area.

By default, theses are deposited in Pure Open Access, but there may be valid reasons why you need to restrict access to your thesis. For instance, if you wish to publish your thesis, you may wish to request a two year embargo whilst you prepare for publication.

Usually embargos will only apply for a limited period of time but there are a few reasons why you may need an indefinite embargo . For instance, if your thesis contains sensitive or confidential information or has been commercially sponsored you may have signed an agreement which does not permit you to make it publicly available. You should talk to your Director of Studies when establishing if there is a need to restrict access to your thesis. They will be able to advise regarding an appropriate period of embargo for your thesis.

When submitting the Candidate's Declaration Form at the time you submit your thesis for examination you will be asked to indicate whether an embargo period is required. This form is available through the Doctoral College SharePoint site under the 'thesis preparation' tab.

Conversely, if you are granted an embargo but decide while the embargo is in effect that it is no longer necessary you can let us know by e-mailing  [email protected].  We will contact your supervisor (or Head of School) to establish if it is appropriate to make the thesis available earlier.

How to Deposit

Following the examination and completion of any required corrections the PGR Lifecycle team will send out a copy of the Library Declaration and Deposit Agreement to you once your thesis is confirmed as having passed examination and you are invited to submit the final copy of your thesis. Please note this form is not available through the Doctoral College SharePoint Site .

Ideally your thesis should consist of a single PDF file. However, it is acceptable to deposit a small number of individual files if you experience major difficulties in producing a single file for conversion to PDF.

You should save the PDF version of your thesis using the following filename format:

•  [Year][Name][Degree].pdf (e.g. 2007smithphd.pdf or 2008jonesmphil.pdf)
• If you need to deposit a thesis with 3rd party copyright material edited out you should name the edited version as normal, and the restricted version with “Internal” (e.g. 2007smithphdinternal.pdf)
• If you need to deposit additional multimedia files that cannot be incorporated into the main PDF file, you should use the same file name with the addition of the type of media deposited (e.g.2007smithphd_audio.mpeg)

If you are concerned that your PDF file is very large please contact [email protected] for advice.

The main body of your thesis, including appendices, associated images, data, tables etc. must be deposited as a PDF document. However, if your thesis has associated multimedia (e.g. sound file or video clips) these can be uploaded separately.  

Theses Prior to 2008

If you submitted your PhD thesis before 2008 and would like to have it made available electronically then please email  our team . We will need to check the thesis for any issues with copyright or data protection and will remove content where necessary before we digitize the thesis and make it openly available.

We sometimes get theses requests from non-Coventry University staff and students, particularly from the British Library  Ethos  service. If the thesis was submitted prior to 2008 then we will make every reasonable effort to track down and contact the author of the thesis for permission.

In order to make your thesis available in the institutional repository, you will need to seek permission if you want to include any third party copyright material. Traditionally it has been accepted that third party copyright material can be included in a print version of a thesis without seeking permission. However, it is good academic practice to do this and this is essential if your thesis is going to be made available online.

Please note that you will not be penalised if it is not possible to gain permission, either because permissions are not granted or because it would be too expensive to obtain permissions. This will simply mean that we will not be able to make your thesis available online. The outcome of your examination will not be affected in anyway. No student will be required to make any payments to copyright holders for material they wish to include in their thesis.  

What to seek permission for

You will need permission for any third party copyright material you wish to include in your thesis, e.g. extracts from publications, or illustrations such as images, maps, photographs, tables etc.

If you have included a short quotation from a published work and have acknowledged and referenced it appropriately it is probably not necessary for you to seek permission from the copyright holder. Copyright law does not define what is meant by a short extract, and if you are in doubt it is probably best to seek permission.

If you intend to include material that you have published elsewhere (e.g. journal articles) you need to check that the publisher will allow you to include these as part of your thesis. The easiest way to do this is to contact the publisher directly and check. You will need to give the complete citation for the published work that you wish to include and specifically ask permission to include this work in within the electronic version of your thesis which will be made available in Coventry University's online research repository

How to seek permissions

In order to seek permission to include third party copyright material within the electronic version of your thesis you will need to contact the rights holder. The rights holder of the work you want to use may be the author, illustrator or publisher etc. 

We would suggest that you contact the publisher in the first instance. Many publishers give details on their websites of how to seek permissions and who to contact. Look for information on rights / permissions / copyright clearance. If the publisher does not hold the rights to the work they should forward your enquiry to whoever does. 

The Society of Authors provides guidance on how to ask for permissions and the circumstances when this is likely to be required. The database WATCH (Writers Artists and Their Copyright Holders) maintained by the University of Texas is a useful resource when searching for copyright holders, especially within the arts.

If the rights holder does not reply immediately, you may want to contact them again. Please note that you may not regard a lack of response as permission to include third party material in your thesis.

A template letter to request copyright permissions is available here:

• Copyright Permission Template

Results of a Permission Request

If permission is granted you should indicate this at the appropriate point of your thesis, e.g. 'Permission to reproduce [make reference to the exact material included] has been granted by [name of the rights holder].' You should keep copies of any letters or emails that you receive from rights holders.

If you have been unable to secure all the necessary third party copyright permissions for your thesis you will not be able to make the full version available online. You will still be required to deposit this copy, and it will be held securely. However, you may wish to make an edited version publicly available. If this is the case you should save an additional copy of your thesis, remove the relevant material and insert a place holder at this point in the document, e.g. Figure (Text/Chart/Diagram/image etc.) has been removed due to Copyright restrictions. Remember that you need to deposit both the full and the edited version of your thesis, and that these should be given different filenames.  

Thesis by Portfolio/Publication

For those undertaking a PhD by portfolio / prior publication, we would recommend where possible getting publisher permissions for us to include the final publications in the version of the thesis which we make available online. Where an author has signed a Copyright Transfer Agreement with a publisher this will otherwise restrict our ability to share this content, and we may therefore only be able to make a limited version of the thesis publicly available online. 

Many publishers will allow a particular version (e.g. a pre-print or post-print) of an article to be included in an institutional repository and you may be able to include these versions in the electronic version of your thesis rather than including the publisher’s PDF(s) if permissions are not otherwise forthcoming. This information may be included in the copyright transfer agreement or licence to publish which you signed prior to publication. Alternatively, ask your publisher directly.

Depending on the type of output you produce, you may also need the permission of co-creators / joint copyright holders. Again, we would recommend that you seek this permission as you go along and keep a record of the permissions you have obtained.

For further advice regarding this please contact your  Faculty Principal Registry Officer  or the  Repository Development Officer

Searching for Coventry University PhD Theses

Electronic theses available in the CU repository can be found using the University Library catalogue  Locate.  Theses that are print only, including those prior to 2008, can be found using  Locate and then requested at the Library Reception Desk.

When theses are submitted, the University's Research Office forwards brief details of the thesis to the British Library Electronic Theses Online Service  EThOS.

When searching generally for PhD theses, two useful resources are:

• EThOS  - The British Library Electronic Theses Online Service currently has approximately 350,000 records relating to theses awarded by over 120 UK institutions. Around 120,000 of these also provide access to the full text thesis, either via download from the EThOS database or via links to the institution’s own repository. Of the remaining 250,000 records dating back to at least 1800, three quarters are available to be ordered for scanning through the EThOS digitisation-on-demand facility. Please note that some Universities cover the costs of producing a digitisation from a print copy, while others pass the costs on to the requester. To download a thesis or to request a digitisation of a print thesis, you will need to register for an EThOS account - this is free to do.
• DART  - DART-Europe is a partnership of research libraries and library consortia who are working together to improve global access to European research theses. DART-Europe is endorsed by LIBER (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche), and it is the European Working Group of the Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD). DART lists theses from over 566 European universities in over 28 EU countries.

To search for theses from other universities you could also try searching their catalogues directly by going through  libraries.org: A directory of libraries throughout the world.  If you would like to see a thesis from another university you should consider using the  Document Supply Service.

Coventry University Undergraduate and Masters' Dissertations

Unfortunately, only theses from PhD and Masters by Research are collected within Pure and therefore catalogued in Locate. If you are searching for your own Undergraduate or Taught Masters dissertation, we would suggest contacting your original faculty as they may have a copy or be able to direct you to where copies have been stored. Please note that not all faculties will be storing dissertations and that they may not be able to assist you.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Correlation ensembles in complex networks

Summary of phd program:.

The project is centred on characterizing a new type of complex network ensemble. In studying complex systems, researchers often use graph-sampling methods to build networks obeying given constraints, such as a degree sequence or a joint-degree matrix (JDM). This project concerns how to directly determine the JDMs corresponding to a given degree sequence. JDMs uniquely specify the degree sequences of the graphs that realize them; however, the vice versa is not necessarily true, as, in general, each degree sequence can be realized by graphs with different JDMs. Currently, the only way of determining the typical degree correlations of a graph family is sampling their degree sequence or degree distribution and then measure the correlations of the resulting networks. The first goal will be to create an algorithm to build and sample the JDMs corresponding to a given degree sequence without passing through the middle step of explicit graph construction, using a self-consistent approach to identify the bounds on the elements of partially built matrices.

Application Deadline: October 25 2023

2. fully funded phd position in complex network analysis.

The project aims to build a set of resources and tools targeting at the deep understanding and effective modelling of various types of multi-modal information sources, from a complex network point of view, towards accurate and efficient unreliable information detection. To achieve this, we will analyse information spreaders’ full-scale behavioural history of information consumption and social interaction, and utilise the patterns of information propagation dynamics and text network structure.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Liquid Metal Magneto-Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection

This project offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the field of planetary science and to develop a world-leading expertise in geophysical and numerical fluid dynamics. The successful candidate will also be able to develop an extensive scientific network by working with the best experts in the field word-wide, through extensive collaboration across the USA and Europe thanks to the great flexibility offered by the ERC-guarantee.

Application Deadline: 25 October 2023

4. fully funded phd position in machine learning for optimization problems.

Knowledge-guided Machine Learning is a growing trend in Artificial Intelligence, where physical models of a phenomenon are used to draw examples to be used in conjunction with already available data. This project will explore the development of Machine Learning models to develop solutions to optimization algorithms that have notoriously high complexity, such as Travelling Sales person problem, Convex Hull, Delaunay Triangulation. The project will explore Pointer Networks and their variants, as well as cutting edge transformer-based models and study their application to development of machine learning models.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Accessible cars

Research shows that poor transport design, whether public or private, can create challenges for disabled people and their ability to make door to door journeys. In order to overcome some of these barriers, national disability charity Motability, in collaboration with the National Transport Design Centre (an accessible facility) at Coventry University, are seeking to sponsor a doctoral candidate to undertake research in the area of accessible transport solutions.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in deep learning for neurodegenerative disease detection

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), affect tens of millions of people worldwide and cause a heavy economic burden on societies. Early diagnosis and an accurate characterization of disease progression are critical for treatment and improving patients’ quality of life. However, current methods rely on expensive and time-consuming mental status examinations and neuroimaging scans, which can often be inaccurate. In this PhD project, we aim to develop nonlinear signal processing, systems engineering, and advanced deep learning techniques, including graph neural networks, to capture spatial and temporal features of EEG signals and characterise neurodegenerative diseases. This will be based on the existing work from the PI’s groups.

Application Deadline: 15 September 2023

8. fully funded phd position in microbial metabolites.

Understanding the mechanisms by which microbial metabolites influence health and disease of colon epithelial cells presents an opportunity to design novel, game-changing preventative strategies that will preclude the development of cancerous hallmarks and inhibit tumour cell growth. Our recent pioneering work profiling the expressed genes of the gut microbiota (the metatranscriptome) was the first investigation of in vivo microbial activity in CRC. It revealed cancer-specific changes in microbial metabolic activity and evidence that the availability of secreted metabolites to colonocytes is changed (Lamaudière et al., 2023a, 2023b). Further in vitro analyses showed that metabolites secreted by cultured anaerobic meta-bacteria inhibit cancer cell viability and proliferation, affecting several key CRC hallmarks simultaneously, including energy metabolism, redox status, epigenetic and apoptosis.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Long Document Summarisation through Propositional-Level Comprehension

This project aims to develop novel solutions for long text summarisation by extracting and representing the text structure and by modelling the process of text comprehension. We call this paradigm summarisation through comprehension. Methodologically, summarisation is similar to comprehension, first by information filtering, then by information synthesis. Cognitive scientists believe that comprehension is to reason over a coherent representation of text meaning, basically a propositional network of facts in the text, which provides both the cognitive basis and computational basis of salient content extraction and coherent and consistent summary generation. Meanwhile, we will study the effective ways of modelling the explicit and latent structure of long text into the summarization algorithm.

Application Deadline: October 2023

10. fully funded phd position in connected autonomous vehicle.

The adoption of autonomous vehicle technology promises to deliver a wide range of social, economic, and environmental benefits. The magnitude of these benefits is in turn dependent on how we assess vehicle behaviour. Scenario based testing aims to assess the behaviour of automated vehicles using realistic and often complex test scenarios that the vehicle might encounter on public roads. Each scenario is defined by a vast number of parameters making the exploration of the scenario parameter space challenging. Assessing vehicle behaviour, where the full extent of the scenario space cannot be fully exploited, is therefore challenging and leads to risk that parts of the parameter space critical to evaluation of a vehicle’s performance remain unexplored.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Anelastic Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection

This project tackles the long-standing challenge of understanding how convective flows in liquid planetary cores generate and sustain the magnetic fields of planets through the dynamo process. The project explores the radically new idea that the elusive type of flows able to generate magnetic fields may be produced by tornado-like vortices. The successful candidate will implement the more refined anelastic approximation for rotating convection into our in-house code goldfish to realistically model gas giants such as Jupiter and Saturn. With this new version of the code the PhD researcher will determine if such elementary process can influence the global magnetic field in gas giants. Ensuing numerical simulations will then seek to identify signatures of local dynamo action that can also be observed and measured via space missions and analyse corresponding available data, e.g., for Jupiter obtained from Juno.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Rapidly Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

The PhD researcher will study these NOB effects in the asymptotic “ultimate state” of convective turbulence by means of numerical simulations using our in-house code goldfish. This extreme regime of convection has challenged previous numerical models but incorporating the NOB effects into the code will enable the PhD researcher to unequivocally diagnose its emergence for the first time and allow meaningful extrapolation to geophysical and astrophysical settings.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Accessible human-machine interfaces in transport

Research shows that poor transport design, whether public or private, can create challenges for disabled people and their ability to make door to door journeys. In order to overcome some of these barriers, national disability charity Motability, in collaboration with the National Transport Design Centre (an accessible facility) at Coventry University, are seeking to sponsor a doctoral candidate to undertake research in the area of accessible transport solutions. In line with the National Disability Strategy (2021), this PhD is focused on developing and assessing human-machine interfaces to enhance the accessibility of transport-related user interfaces.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in daily occupational heat exposure

With climate change fuelling an increase in the occurrence of hot weather, the risk of exertional heat-related injury and disease is expected to rise dramatically in both prevalence and severity over the next decades. People who work in physically arduous occupations such as those in the uniformed services (fire fighters, critical incident response teams, police and the military) regularly operate and train in thermally challenging environments and are commonly required to work within these environments across consecutive days.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in mechanism of hydrogen on fatigue performance of pipeline welded joints

This PhD project aims to investigate: (a) effect of pressure variations on fatigue performance of high-pressure hydrogen pipelines; (b) the inhibiting effect of oxygen on hydrogen effect on pipeline steel; (c) effect of load frequency on fatigue performance in hydrogen; (d) mechanism of material property degradation under cyclic load leading to predictive models for reducing conservativeness in design and operations.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Stigmatisation and discrimination in transport towards individuals with disabilities

Research shows that poor transport design, whether public or private, can create challenges for disabled people and their ability to make door to door journeys. In order to overcome some of these barriers, national disability charity Motability, in collaboration with the National Transport Design Centre (an accessible facility) at Coventry University, are seeking to sponsor a doctoral candidate to undertake research in the area of accessible transport solutions. In this context, this Ph.D focuses on the stigmatisation (i.e. attitudes) and discrimination (i.e. behaviour) towards transport users with disabilities.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Stability and transition in compressible shear flows

Laminar-turbulent transition, the process of how laminar flows become turbulent, is critical in many engineering applications. For example, the onset of turbulence dramatically increases the drag and heat transfer on the surface of aerial vehicles or compressor blades leading to increased fuel consumption and decreased system performance. In these high-speed flow systems, it is important to consider the fluid compressibility that introduces additional phenomena such as heat transfer, acoustic waves or even shocks if the flow is supersonic. While compressible turbulence has been widely studied in simulations and experiments, there is less theoretical study on how compressible flows become unstable and turbulent via the transition.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Deep Learning on Neurophysiological Signals

New cost-effective and accurate diagnosis tools and techniques are therefore urgently needed especially for the early detection and prediction of AD and PD at the individual level. Over the last decade, electroencephalography (EEG) has emerged as an economical and non-invasive alternative technique for the study of neurodegenerative diseases. It is well-known that AD and PD patients are characterised by a reduced complexity of cortical activity and a slowing of oscillatory brain activity, therefore, it is important to study how neural activity is coordinated across different spatial and temporal scales for the diagnostic purpose. In this PhD project, we will investigate how brain connectivity analysis, network theory, and advanced deep learning approaches (e.g. RNN, GNN, transformers) can be integrated to develop new EEG-based biomarkers for the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media

The displacement of a fluid by another in a disordered porous material, for example migration of water and gases in soils and rocks, is often out-of-equilibrium. This means the flow occurs in a highly nonuniform manner (both in space and time), exhibiting rate-dependency as well as path dependency (hysteresis), the latter intimately related to memory and energy dissipation. While it is known that these behaviours at the large (macroscopic) scale emerge from microscopic (pore)-scale mechanisms and the rough energy landscape associated with microscopic heterogeneity, the link between these remains elusive.

20. Fully Funded PhD Position in Thermochemical modelling of radiation

This project will use a combination of atomic scale and microstructure simulation to refine the existing models and develop a new predictive model of the radiation induced segregation (RIS) in compositions and conditions relevant to UK AGR cladding. The models will improve our understanding of the process of RIS and reduce the uncertainty when making prediction of RIS under new reactor conditions. The project is in collaboration with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and National Nuclear Laboratory and the successful candidate will be required to work closely with leading academic and industry researchers within these areas.

21. Fully Funded PhD Position in Assessing the Commercial Feasibility and Efficacy of Autonomous Vehicles in Logistics

This PhD project aims to investigate the impact of future autonomous vehicles (AVs) in the logistics industry. The goal is to reduce the challenges faced by companies in logistics operations for example, how to optimise hub-and-spoke networks to reduce lead time. The project will focus on analysing the feasibility of using AVs and comparing their capabilities with traditional logistics methods (for example implementing distributed micro-warehouses). Furthermore, the project will consider the behaviour of operators and analyse their abilities in solving real-world logistics problems to gain a deeper understanding of the task.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Tailoring diabetes prevention for menopause

There is not seen to be a one size fits all approach to managing midlife changes in women, but rather a tool kit of synergistic strategies is needed. Women need to be empowered to understand symptoms and how to manage menopause. Doing so will give women a better chance in preventing type 2 diabetes. In this PhD, we recognise that people’s perceptions and actions are influenced in part by how we, as a society, communicate; particularly by what we hear, read and see. Concerningly, not all of the information being shared online and through media outlets is accurate. Research can be misrepresented and concepts conflated, leading women to unrealistic expectations around menopause treatments and health risks.

23. Fully Funded PhD Position in Distributed Multilateral Trust Model in 5G/6G Mobile Communication Networks

The emerging fifth/sixth generation (5G/6G) of mobile communication networks will enable real-time communications for a wide range of state-of-the-art and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven applications, such as connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), tactile communications, intelligent internet of medical things, and connected robotics, which will accelerate the digital transformation of vertical industry sectors and significantly reshape our economies and lives. Because 5G/6G wireless networks are more open and diverse than previous generations, cyber security is a critical challenge they should intrinsically deal with to avoid introducing additional vulnerabilities into the sectors they are supporting. At the same time, given that 5G/6G networks could be potentially controlled by many operators using different management architectures, their security requirements cannot be met by the standard security trust architecture, which frequently relies on the security perimeter at network boundaries.

24. Fully Funded PhD Position in Explainable AI for Computational Algebra

A Computer Algebra System (CAS) is a piece of software that performs symbolic mathematical computations with exact precision, as a human mathematician would by hand. These tools are used regularly within science, industry and education. There has been increasing interest in the use of ML within mathematical software since many algorithms come with choices which have no effect on the mathematical correctness of the output, but greatly affect its presentation and the resources required to find it. Most recently, there has been some evidence that Explainable AI techniques, i.e. ML models which are interpretable by a human, can be used to identify new knowledge that can be used directly in computer algebra algorithms. This projects seeks to explore this cutting edge area of research.

25. Fully Funded PhD Position in artificial intelligence

This project aims to develop a sophisticated multi-agent system that integrates human expertise and artificial intelligence to enhance coordination and situational awareness in real-time logistics operations. By leveraging the strengths of both humans and intelligent agents, the system will enable effective collaboration, leading to faster decision-making, reduced response time, and improved operational efficiency. The key focus of this project is to create a human-in-the-loop AI-based system that supervises the behaviour of autonomous vehicles (AVs) within the multi-agent system. By utilizing a hazard probability map, the system will generate parallel mission plans for the AVs, ensuring that mission overlap, and duplicate information are avoided.

26. Fully Funded PhD Position in 3D Generative AI Model for Industrial Discriminative Predictions

Fitting clothes for customers remains the top issue in apparel industry, particular in clothing online shopping. The objective of this project is to push the state of the art in specific areas of computer vision related to 3D point cloud processing in order to develop the building blocks of an online clothing recommendation system that will be marketed to clients in the fashion industry looking to transition into the digital world or improve the value generation potential of online marketplaces. For this, we will develop novel ways of processing human body scans incorporating machine learning using deep neural network to generate (1) highly accurate clothing size prediction for different fashion brands, and (2) highly accurate human fitting avatars and virtual clothing assets that can be retargeted to human avatars.

27. Fully Funded PhD Position in Building strength in the menopause

There is not seen to be a one size fits all approach to managing midlife changes in women, but rather a tool kit of synergistic strategies is needed. Women should understand the powerful impact of health-related behavioural approaches to help menopause-related symptoms, as well as long-term disease risk reduction. Doing so will give women a better chance in preventing type 2 diabetes and other health concerns, such as cardiovascular disease. An integrated ‘sitting less and moving more’ message is a key component for midlife women. People spending >4 hours sitting and <5 minutes doing physical activity each day are at greatest risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality. Intervening using a staircase approach encourages manageable increases in physical activity and interruptions to sitting.
