Create a thesis cover page

Here’s how to create the title page for your thesis

A thesis begins with an appealing cover page that grabs the attention of your readers, commonly referred to as the title page. It is crucial to make this page visually attractive and include only relevant details. Each program may have specific guidelines for the title page, so it is essential to consult your program’s graduation manual.

What should be on the cover page?

The cover page of a thesis usually contains the following information:

Title of the thesis: This is a concise and clear description of the research or assignment that the thesis is about. It should clearly reflect the topic and purpose of the research.
Author’s name: This is the name of the person who wrote the thesis, or your name.
Name of the course: The name of the course for which the thesis was written is stated here.
Name of the university or college: This is the name of the educational institution where you study.
Date: This is the date on which the thesis was completed or submitted.
Possible co-authors: If there are other authors who contributed to the thesis, their names can also be mentioned on the cover page.
Supervisor(s): These are the name(s) of the person or persons who guided you in writing the thesis.
Any other contributors: If there are other individuals who contributed to the thesis, their names can also be mentioned on the cover page.

Which programs can you use to create a cover page?

Microsoft Word provides standard cover page templates. You just have to fill in the correct information. Go to ‘Insert’ and click on ‘Cover Page’ to choose a template that suits your thesis. Additionally, other programs such as Google Docs, Pages (for Mac), and OpenOffice are also available. The program you choose depends on your personal preferences and specific cover page requirements.

Choose the correct illustration

Adding an illustration can enhance the attractiveness of your cover page. Select an image that is closely relevant to the subject of your thesis, as this will enhance its visual appeal and highlight the content of your research. Free stock photos, such as those found on platforms like Canva, provide a wide range of images that can elevate your thesis. If you opt for a free image, be sure to determine the extent to which you need to cite the source in order to avoid potential copyright infringement.
