LUMEN: ULB PhD Thesis Front Cover

This is an unofficial standard front cover for a doctoral thesis submitted at the Université libre de Bruxelles. This template is intended for creating a personalized cover in the form of a single-page PDF file.

Usage

  • It appears that the official template uses the Times New Roman font. The Libertinus Serif/Sans and IBM Plex Serif/Sans fonts are elegant, free alternatives.
  • Replace the images by uploading your faculty and fund logos, then modify the paths for the logo and fund-logo parameters of the #show function.
  • The following parameters can be disabled by replacing the parameter value with none: subtitle, co-supervisor, lab, jury1 (removes all jury fields) and fund-logo.
