Binding of Thesis and Dissertations
Warnborough offers a binding service for postgraduate students. This is a cost-effective way for students in other countries to submit their work for examination, and also cuts down on postage.
Students will need to submit a copy of their thesis or dissertation in softcopy format (preferably Word, Pages, Adobe PDF or in Rich Text Format) on a USB stick or by email or Dropbox. To save you costs, we will have it bound in softcover for the examination process. If the work is conditionally approved, students must resubmit another USB stick with the final version (complete with any required corrections or modifications) which will be bound in hardcover for our library and records.
Softcover binding must be done in such a way that pages may not be easily lost or substituted. Binding styles can include perfect binding or spiral binding.
Hardcover binding: covers may be blue, navy or black with gold embossed lettering.
All covers should state the full name of the candidate, the full title of the work, and the year of submission/publication. The spine should have the work title, last name of author, and year.
One volume can only take approximately 300 pages. If your work exceeds this number of pages, it will need to be bound in more than one volume. Therefore, a large dissertation could possibly have 2 or 3 volumes, by the time you include pictures, graphs, attachments in the appendix, and other such things.
Softcover binding costs €100 per volume. Two (2) copies of your dissertation are needed for the examination process. This price covers up to 200 pages per volume.
Hardcover binding costs €200 per volume. We normally require two (2) copies of your dissertation for our records. This price covers up 150 pages per volume.
Should your publication exceed these amounts, you will need to divide your work into two or more volumes.
