LUMEN: ULB PhD Thesis Front Cover

This is an unofficial standard front cover for a doctoral thesis submitted at the Université libre de Bruxelles. You can use this template to create a personalized cover that you can insert anywhere in your document.

Usage

  • It appears that the official template uses the Times New Roman font. The IBM Plex Serif/Sans and Libertinus 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.
