Finding Theses
Trinity college dublin theses.
Trinity College Dublin research theses can be found using Stella Search and refining your search results by selecting the format 'TCD Thesis' for print theses, or 'TCD E-Thesis', or by limiting results to the Library Collection 'TCD Theses' for both.
For the most up-to-date list of e-theses go directly to the TARA e-thesis collection .
All print theses held by the Library are in storage. Students, staff and visiting readers should use Click and Collect to request them.
Note: Trinity College Dublin theses cannot be borrowed and must be read in the Library.
Taught Masters dissertations awarded post-2004/5 are not held by the Library in print format, but some are available electronically due to authors kindly donating the PDF of their thesis .
Undergraduate dissertations are not held by the Library.
Stays/Embargoes/Restrictions
Occasionally a new thesis or e-thesis will have a "stay" (embargo) on it, meaning it cannot be requested or viewed. This temporary (usually between one and five years) restriction is made by the Graduate Studies Office on behalf of the author. A small number of e-theses are restricted to Trinity logins only, and some authors have chosen to opt out of the retrospective digitisation of their print thesis.
Retrospective Thesis Digitisation Project
The Library has been working to retrospectively digitise the collection of Ph.D. theses.
For the authors who graduated from 2000-2017, e-mail notification of the project was sent to authors via the Alumni mailing list. A notification was posted in the Alumni magazine. The lists of theses to be scanned in each phase were posted on the Library website for several years. Authors were/are asked to get in contact if they object or have any other concerns.
Most of these theses are now available online from TARA . If you are unable to find a specific e-thesis from 2000-2017, please contact Niamh Harte at [email protected] .
Theses from Other Institutions
Many universities are digitising their research output and making it freely available via their institutional repository – check their Library/University website for information.
British and Irish theses, including Trinity College Dublin theses, plus North American and some European theses are indexed in ProQuest Dissertations & Theses: A&I .
If a thesis is not available freely online contact the Library’s Inter-Library Loan Office .

Thesis/DissertationA thesis/dissertation is a substantial piece of research that a student has undertaken. The thesis/dissertation is the result of a student's independent work, carried out under the guidance of a supervisor. Different subject areas may follow different conventions in relation to the production of dissertations. The terms dissertation and thesis are often used interchangeably, however a dissertation in the Irish context is more commonly used in relation to undergraduate and taught Masters (where minor thesis is also used), whereas thesis is generally associated with PhD level research. This section focuses on the dissertation and minor thesis only. (Note: Projects are dealt with separately) What can it assess?A dissertation/minor thesis, in undergraduate and taught Masters, is an excellent approach to assessing students' ability to undertake research and in assessing higher order skills such as critical thinking, analysis and synthesis. The assessment criteria often include outcomes relating to carrying out research such as: the ability to construct a coherent argument; critical analysis of the relevant literature; development of an appropriate methodology; engagement with research findings; discussion and recommendations. Disciplines may have different emphasis, such as scientific writing in the sciences and creative writing in the Arts and Humanities. For more detail on PhD and Research Masters degree assessment, see UCD Graduate Studies and UCD Regulation, Section 7 . Advantages and DisadvantagesDisadvantages.
Design and Online Assessment ConsiderationsThe assessment criteria for dissertation/minor thesis need careful consideration. Holistic criteria , which supports the broader use of grade descriptions, can be useful as they allow students to produce different types of outcomes, but give some overarching direction. Consider whether it is appropriate to give some weighting to the process of the thesis, i.e. engagement with supervisor and peers, presentation to the public/colleagues, etc. Given the challenge with reliability, it is useful to develop a community of practice of graders to support more consistent approaches to the grading ( Herbert et al, 2014). Students also need opportunities to receive feedback on early drafts and/or opportunities to self and or peer review their dissertation/minor thesis. School norms may guide the length of the final output. Some disciplines are moving to a high quality article length to replicate the outcomes often associated with research outputs; this can also address the staff workload issue associated with corrections. A dissertation/minor thesis requires an extended period of time to allow for the elongated research process. To support a more inclusive approach, consider if there are different formats that might suit diverse learners, for example, audio/video as an alternative or to complement the writing tasks. For minor theses in Taught Graduate Programme, s ee UCD Policy on Theses in Graduate Taught Programmes Ensure students have advice on how to submit their dissertation/minor thesis online if appropriate. Tools and technologies to support this assessment type include:
Preparing StudentsStudents will need guidance on the criteria required and a discussion based on previous exemplars can be very beneficial. Student cohorts may find the self-directed nature of the dissertation challenging and support structures may need to be put in place to scaffold the process. Peer review and self assessment can assist in clarifying expectations. Educate students on academic integrity, including what is meant by plagiarism. Make them aware of the UCD resources on these, such as UCD Plagiarism Policy-Student Guide , FAQ for Students on Plagiarism , UCD Library guide on Academic Integrity .
