Welcome to the LaTeX LibGuide!

LaTeX is not a program by itself, it is a document preparation system. Using LaTeX requires a series of tools. Acquiring them manually would result in downloading and installing multiple programs. To get started without needing to install anything, you can use a web-hosted service.  Overleaf  is an easy to use online LaTeX editor with integrated rapid preview.

Why should you use LaTeX?

• LaTeX was built to handle typesetting of complex mathematical formulas
• Many publishers ask authors to provide LaTeX source of their article or book.
• Thousands of templates for all purposes (presentations, resumes, thesis, posters, etc)
• LaTeX editor's have many options and features to format documents
• It is an industry standard
• LaTeX is much faster (Word processors become very sluggish when you insert many (high quality) pictures. With LaTeX its fast since a separate text editor is used and the document is displayed as a pdf.

Use the  Overleaf online tutorials   to explore and self learn LaTeX.

Dissertation and thesis support

The NTU Library offers support for undertaking dissertation, research projects, and theses work across all levels of study.

Find support by level of study

Undergraduate dissertation / final year research project, postgraduate masters dissertation / research project, phd or professional doctorate thesis.

A dissertation is an academic report that has a large word limit (5,000 - 10,000 words). It can be the biggest piece of writing you undertake during your undergraduate degree. You may be asked to select a topic to focus on and this may also require choosing a certain type of methodology or undertaking a literature review. We recommend the following material to help get you started.

Books and literature

• Take a look at our resource list of suggested titles focussing on dissertations and theses.

Useful links

• Dissertations and project work guidance and tutorials in the ASKHub.
• Writing an undergraduate dissertation (Royal Literary Fund)

Further help

• Attend  one of our workshops about dissertation research, literature reviews, proofreading, etc.
• Book an appointment to talk to a member of staff.
• Talk with your dissertation or research project supervisor.

A masters degree usually has some sort of extended individual project. It typically involves a high word count (between 12,000 and 20,000 words). The structure is similar to an undergraduate dissertation, but you will be expected to investigate your topic in greater detail, and develop your research methodology skills further. The following resources will help you get started.
