A Coventry University Thesis LaTeX Template

I needed a LaTeX template to use in ShareLaTeX, now oncorporated into Overleaf, when writing up my thesis. Since I couldn't find one for Coventry University I adapted an existing template. Being based in the Faculty of Engineering, Environment and Computing (EEC) I used the Cambridge University Engineering Department (CUED) template as the starting point, though social science schools and faculties should find it applicable.

Ideas, suggestions and changes welcome.

Coventry University Engineering PhD Thesis Template

• A LaTeX / XeLaTeX / LuaLaTeX thesis template for a Coventry University PhD.
• Version 2025-09-14.
• MIT License.

Author(s)

• Based on a previous version of the Cambridge University Engineering Department PhD. Template by Krishna Kumar.
• Adapted for Coventry University by Daniel S. Fowler.

Differences from the CUED template.

• Removed the Cambridge University crest, references and colleges options.
• Added a Coventry University front page logo.
• Replaced the copyrighted example images with public domain clip art from openclipart.org
• Removed build files not required by Overleaf (can be obtained from the CUED template).
• Added more tutorial text as an introduction to the template, how to use it and pointers to further help, especially for those new to LaTeX.

Last Change

• Swapped to BibLaTeX for the bibliography to support Coventry's APA7 requirement (biblatex-apa).
