Official Typst template for final theses at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, STU in Bratislava (STU FEI).

It gives you the mandated cover and title pages, the assignment insert, abstracts with keywords, all the required lists (contents, abbreviations, listings, figures and tables), the AI-usage declaration and lettered appendices — so you only write the text.

See the full example thesis (PDF) — the template ships with this document as its demo content, so a fresh project compiles straight into it.

Requirements

• Typst 0.14 or newer (the assignment insert relies on embedding PDF pages as images).
• The template uses Libertinus Serif for text and Libertinus Math for math. Libertinus Serif ships with Typst, but when compiling locally (command line or VS Code) you need to install Libertinus Math yourself: download the latest Libertinus release and install static/OTF/LibertinusMath-Regular.otf. Use the OTF file — the TTF and web builds have no math table, and Typst then warns “current font is not designed for math”. Different fonts can be set with #show: fei-thesis.with(font: "...", font-math: "...").
• The demo content is written in Slovak; the template is available in Slovak and English.

Getting started

Pick whichever of the three you are most comfortable with. All of them create the same project.

Typst app (easiest, nothing to install)

1. Go to typst.app and create an account.
2. Start a new project from a template and search for fei-thesis.
3. Create the project — you get main.typ plus the whole folder structure described below.

VS Code

1. Install VS Code.
2. Install the Tinymist Typst extension, which compiles the document and gives you a live preview.
3. Open the Tinymist view in the sidebar, click Template Gallery, and find fei-thesis.
4. Click the + to create a project from it.
5. Open main.typ. The buttons in the top-right corner start the live preview or export a PDF.

Command line

# install Typst first: https://typst.app/open-source/#download
typst init @preview/fei-thesis:0.0.8 my-thesis
cd my-thesis

typst watch main.typ     # live rebuild while you write
typst compile main.typ   # one-off PDF

Project structure

main.typ is the entry point you compile — it wires everything together and holds your metadata. In short: includes/ holds the important files — everything you write goes there, while assets/ is for your own files, such as images and figures.

The demo files are filled with the example thesis — overwrite their contents, keep the file names, and everything stays wired up.

Filling in your thesis

Metadata

All fields go into fei-setup. Every one of them has a default, so nothing will crash if you omit one — but the default is placeholder text ("tituly Meno Priezvisko, tituly") that will be printed on your title page, so fill them all in.

The assignment

Export the assignment from AIS, save it as includes/assignment.pdf, and set pages: to the number of pages that PDF has — each page is inserted full-bleed:

#fei-assignment(read("includes/assignment.pdf", encoding: none), pages: 2)

Abbreviations

includes/glossary.csv is a two-column CSV — short form, then full form:

CDMA,Code Division Multiple Access
GSM,Global System for Mobile communication

Use them in the text with the abbr package; the first occurrence is expanded automatically and the list at the front of the thesis is generated for you. To use it, uncomment #fei-list-of-glossaries(...) in main.typ and delete #fei-list-of-manual-glossaries(...). The shipped main.typ uses the hand-written list in includes/manual_glossary.typ instead, which is useful when you need symbols and units.

Appendices

All appendices go into a single #fei-appendix[...] block. Every level-1 heading inside it becomes one lettered appendix — the heading text is printed as Dodatok A: Algoritmus and the lettering continues automatically. To reference an appendix, put a label on its heading:

// includes/appendixA.typ
= Algoritmus <alg:1>

and cite it in the text with @alg:1. Add or remove appendices by adding or removing includes (or headings) inside the block.

Résumé

A thesis written in English must also contain a résumé in Slovak. Write it in includes/resume.typ and uncomment the line after the conclusion in main.typ:

#fei-resume[#include "includes/resume.typ"]

The heading is Rezumé by default; pass lang: "en" to get Résumé. It is not listed in the table of contents.

Language

fei-thesis takes language: "sk" (default) or language: "en", which switches all generated headings and labels — Literatúra / Bibliography, Dodatok / Appendix, and so on. It does not translate the demo text, which is Slovak.

#show: fei-thesis.with(language: "en")

Function reference

Packages

The template itself pulls in abbr and numbly; you get both for free through the import.

The demo content additionally imports algorithmic, mitex, physica and chemformula in the files that use them. They are not loaded automatically — if you want algorithms, LaTeX math, physics notation or chemical formulas in your own text, import them yourself; if you don’t, deleting the demo content removes the dependency. All packages are downloaded on first compile, so the very first build needs an internet connection.

Development

The published package is built into dist/ with tyler, which rewrites the template’s relative ../lib.typ imports to @preview/fei-thesis:<version>. Work on the sources in the repository root, then rebuild dist/ before publishing.

For local development you need the Libertinus Math font installed on your system — math is set in it, and unlike Libertinus Serif it does not ship with Typst. Install the OTF file from the Libertinus releases (see Requirements), then check that Typst sees it with typst fonts --variants | grep -A2 "Libertinus Math" — the path it prints should end in .otf.

Run the following command in your typst package will check the package and build it, then install the built package to Typst local package group (-i) as well as prepare the package for publish and display instructions to create a PR (-p): tyler build -i -p
