Dissertations and theses from outside the UK...

...can unfortunately be rather tricky to get hold of. Your best bet is to try contacting the author. If you cannot find their contact details (via a web search), then you can try contacting the university department or university library where the author was based at the time they wrote it, as they may be able to put you in touch with the author. Very occasionally, they may even be able to point you towards obtaining a copy!

If you find you reach a dead end in your search, then by all means get in touch with me and I'll see what assistance I can be. However, the library has no direct means of obtaining overseas (i.e. non-UK) dissertations and theses, although we might just be able to offer some advice and support which points you in the right direction. Of course, for UK theses simply head to the British Library's EThOS website.
