Utrecht University Student Theses Repository
The theses platform Utrecht University Student Theses Repository gives access to Open Access theses that have been published in the past fifteen years by students from Utrecht University and the University Medical Center Utrecht. The theses can also be found in international search engines such as WorldCat and Google (Scholar).
Theses will remain publicly available for a fifteen-year period. Please note: this is also true for theses which were publicly available before September 2021. After fifteen years they are automatically taken offline. You will find a manual on how to search for theses on this page.
