Theses from UK universities...

…can now be requested online via the British Library’s EThOS service. It currently features over 250,000 UK theses, with many available to access in full text, free of charge. More information about the service is available on the 'About EThOS' webpage.

If you can’t find the thesis you want, simply complete the EThOS request form, and the British Library will try and track down a copy for you. Assuming they find it, they will then digitise it and add it to their free-to-use online collection.

Please note that due to this new means of accessing theses from other universities, we are no longer able to accept Inter-Library Loan requests for theses. The arrival of EThOS means that this service has now been automated, putting library users in the driving seat!
