Unofficial Typst package for master’s theses at Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg CSE.

This package is based on the Chalmers/GU CSE master’s thesis layout and is not an official Chalmers or University of Gothenburg package.

Features

• Thesis prelude pages (cover, title page, abstract, acknowledgements, TOC).
• Chalmers/GU-style cover and title pages for CSE theses.
• Imprint page fields for supervisor, advisor, examiner, cover caption, and printer.
• Optional imprint-page series metadata for CSE/ODR identifiers such as CSE 25-122.
• Running headers/footers with one-sided and two-sided behavior.
• Appendix mode helper (appendices) with appendix-style numbering.

CSE / Chalmers Notes

• The report is expected to be written in English for master’s theses.
• The abstract should be concise and 250-350 words.
• Use at most 10 keywords at the end of the abstract page.
• Produce an A4, ODR-ready PDF with Roman front-matter numbering and Arabic numbering starting at the first chapter.
• CSE theses normally use the combined Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg identity.

Repository Structure
