This repository contains a couple of templates for PhD theses at the University of Leicester.
There are two folders, one for the bookdown template and one for latex.
Just clone/fork/download the repository and use the template you prefer (with a strong suggestion to use bookdown).
There is lots of code that is commented out (especially in preamble.tex, for both templates): some (if not most) of those are customisations I used for my own thesis.
If you have any questions, feel free to post an issue in this repo: I will try to help.
