The quickest way is to search for them on GALA. You can search and browse the British Library's  Ethos service of which we are participating members. Our theses are also harvested there.

In the LibrarySearch filter search results by Library Location 'Thesis Collection' and Format 'Repository' from the Library Resources menu. Follow the link to GALA or Ethos from each record.

You can find other research theses from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses Full Text: UK & Ireland via LibrarySearch in the My Learning/Learning Support pages in the university portal. 

Theses can be accessed by searching the open access repositories of universities and institutions containing their research outputs. Repositories are indexed by search engines so you will find them in web search results. Additionally you can search CORE (Connecting Repositories); OpenDOAR and the Registry of Open Access Repositories.

In 2009, the decision was made in support of the University's Research Strategy to develop an institutional repository, to enable increased visibility and impact of academic research and individual researchers within the worldwide scholarly research community. During this project, a process was undertaken to gather and preserve as much University of Greenwich research material as possible dating back up to 7 years. This included digitising all PhD theses held in the library from this period.

All theses uploaded to GALA during this project are subject to section 2.0 of the Institutional Repository Takedown policy, which outlines the process to be undertaken if you wish to request a thesis from this period to be removed from the public view.

You can search Trove (Australia) which includes digital theses; DART Europe; Dissertations Express (US theses);  Theses Canada; Theses.fr; National Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan and Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) and South African Theses and Dissertations.
