Literary and Language Studies: Dissertations & theses

Guide to information sources

Finding UKZN theses

ResearchSpace is the online repository of the University of KwaZulu-Natal. It houses the full text of all new theses issued by the university. In addition,  the library is at present involved in a project to digitise all past theses from the university, so many of these are also available full text .

You can go directly to ResearchSpace to search theses by author, title or subject.

Not all theses are yet digitised, this is an ongoing project.

If accessing ResearchSpace from off campus, it is preferable to do so via Firefox.
