You may wish to search and take a look at the Aberystwyth Research Portal, print theses and electronic theses online. You can filter by subject area and date range (for example, 2020-2021).
The Aberystwyth Research Portal makes the very best of Aberystwyth University's staff and postgraduate research openly available online, free of charge.
Content in the portal includes published outputs, postgraduate theses, project details, as well as records for other esteem activities. The portal also includes Personal Profiles of all current staff and research students. This allows browsers of the Portal to view on one page all related research content linked to that person.
All of the content types available in the Aberystwyth Research Portal can be searched individually by clicking on the option on the left-hand menu. Each content type has its own Advanced Search options, allowing you to refine any results. Most content type results can also be sorted with different options available on the right-hand side of the screen.
Open access items
A number of research outputs, theses and dataset records have copies of the item attached to the records. This is indicated with a paperclip symbol to the right of the record entry in the results list. Where a copy of a research output is free to view it will be marked as ‘Open Access’. Within the individual record entry for the item, the available copy will be shown at the bottom of the page.
Embargoed Items
It is possible that some of the research output, theses and dataset records contain embargoed content, as indicated with a crossed through paperclip symbol on the right-hand side of the record entry in the results list. It is possible to ‘request a copy’ of the file via a mail-to link within the individual record entry for the item, at the bottom of the page.
