The National Archives Service of Finland requires theses to be archived. The archival copies of all theses (both master’s and bachelor’s) completed at the Lapland University of Applied Sciences are saved in the Yksa archive service in PDF format starting on 1 May 2015. Students do not receive their degree certificates until they have archived a completed and approved version of their thesis. The theses in the archive can be browsed using various search features.
1. Make a single PDF file of your approved thesis and its appendices (cover sheet, table of contents, report section and appendices). You can use the same file for saving your thesis in Theseus. You can merge several files into one file using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software. If there is only one file, there is free software available for PDF printing.2. Open the thesis archival form:
