This is an unofficial typst template for doing a thesis at the engineering science faculty at KU Leuven. This was made by trying to as closely follow the Latex template here.

Usage

You can use this template in the web editor by going to “start from template” and searching for “modern-se-kul-thesis”. Alternatively, you can use this template locally by running:

typst init @preview/modern-se-kul-thesis

This will then create a basic folder structure with some fields pre-filled.
