Latex for Research Thesis
The directory, where you can find the Latex format of the UCL PhD thesis can be found here: /opt/tex/lib/texmf/tex/ucl
The particular files relevant are: ucl_thesis.cls and the manual 'ucl_macros_user_manual.ltx' which recommends using two other files 'rnmdt.bst' and 'rnmdt.sty'. However some students have not been able to get the last two files working. The first two files are attached here.
UCL Thesis
The 'ucl_thesis.cls' file, has been changed slightly so the original will have to be obtained from the directory pasted above.
Following is a version of the template that one of our PhD students, Vinoba Vinayagamoorthy, has been using for her thesis.
