We compiled the most important tips for uploading your master’s thesis.

Our general guideline is: Upload your thesis to Lauda on time. To upload, you will need your university account, so save the work before you graduate.

The library processes and publishes your work after it is saved. Especially during peak hours, the delay between uploading and publishing can be up to a week.

  • Refer to the guidelines: Publishing a Master’s Thesis and Tietoa Laudasta.
  • Remove personal data from the thesis, except for names. Do not leave phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses visible in the work or its attachments.
  • Name the file correctly: Surname_Firstname
  • Save the work in PDF/A file format. It is an archiveable pdf file format. See instructions: Convert your thesis – libguides.luc.fi.
  • Also add an English abstract to the thesis uploading form, if you have one in your master’s thesis. Copy it from your own work in the same way as the summary in Finnish.

Good luck with your master’s thesis and smooth uploading moments at Lauda!
