UBC Theses and Dissertations
Open collections, limit this search.
The UBC Theses and Dissertations collection promotes open and comprehensive access to a significant body of unique knowledge created by graduate students to support further research and for private study. The authors retain copyright ownership and moral rights to their theses. The content of theses and dissertations may not be re-purposed or exploited for commercial gain without the explicit permission of the authors.
See Theses and Dissertations at cIRcle: Discovery and Use to learn more about finding and using openly available theses and dissertations in Open Collections.
UBC graduate students began submitting their theses online via cIRcle, UBC’s digital repository, in fall 2007, a practice that both simplified the submission process and also ensured the availability of this research to a global audience in a timely manner. As of March 2012, UBC Library has digitized and made openly accessible the full-text of more than 32,000 theses submitted by graduate students between 1919 and 2007. In addition to providing information about specific fields of study these theses also reveal important information about changes in pedagogy at the University and within academic disciplines. Authors concerned about having their pre-2007 theses included as part of this collection can notify [email protected] to have their thesis removed. Similarly, if copyrighted material appears in a thesis the copyright owner can request that material be removed.

Thesis Collection. Our graduate students produce scholarship in diverse topics — ranging from librarianship to archives to children’s literature. Our students are actively present at conferences and have been published in a variety of journals.
The Thesis Committee will consist of the Thesis Supervisor, and one additional member of the iSchool faculty or a UBC faculty member from a department outside of the iSchool. This Committee is responsible for approving the formal thesis proposal; it should meet at least once, and preferably twice, during a year to monitor students’ progress.
