Use the Dissertations filter on the right to limit your results to theses and dissertations (you may need to click on Show more to see the Dissertations filter).

Sort your list by Date-newest so the most recent work comes to the top of the list.

Your list will now include a mixture of Stirling PhD theses, Stirling Masters and undergraduate dissertations, and theses from other institutions. Some items will have links to the full text. You may need to request older Stirling theses from the Library Store.

Click on Also show results without full text on the right to extend your search to theses from other institutions. If there is no full text link, request the thesis using the Document Delivery Service (click on Request Thesis in the catalogue record).
