Thesis Binding

Thesis Bindings have many styles and style variations depending on the University or College, and sometimes the level of your degree ie. Diploma, Bachelors, Masters or Doctorate.

Many Universities or Colleges have rigid Thesis specifications for the Higher Degrees, but lower Degrees differ according to Course, Tutor or Supervisor; specifying their preferences.

We at City Binders bookbinders are always able to advise you; but sometimes the Tutor or Supervisor should be the person to appease the most!

One particular College within a University has five different Thesis binding styles, depending on degree and course; another University has one style but four different lettering layouts and three different coloured cloth coverings, depending on course and degree. This can be confusing to Binders and Students alike. However, we at City Binders bookbinders have built up a library of Thesis styles, specifications and lettering layouts of Universities and Colleges of the UK and Internationally.

Thesis and Dissertations usually fall into two main categories, either Hard Binding or Soft Binding. However, sometimes Students, Tutors or Supervisors, Colleges and Universities, may use conflicticting or contradictory terms, including Thesis binding styles. Although, we at City Binders bookbinderscan advise you on the binding style, we also suggest to always worth checking the Thesis binding styles required by your University or College.

We are always willing to help and assist you where to find some of these answers.
