This workshop will help you work around some of the common formatting glitches most postgraduate students experience, whilst getting their document ready for submission. 

Benefits of formatting your thesis:

• Consistency – your document will be consistent throughout and will ensure that your supervisors can easily navigate the content
• Speed – once you have customised a style or format it would be easy for you to apply the style throughout the document
• Automation – the insertion of Table of Contents, figures, and bibliography can easily be automated once the formatting has been customised

Target Audience: Postgraduate students
