Dissertation binding

We offer University-approved binding services to our students.

On the day and time of your appointment, please come to Graphics and Print Services, Room 1A1, Cottrell Building – remember to bring your printed copies with you. You’ll be asked to leave your printing with us and will be given an ID number and collection time to collect your bound copies. Binding normally takes around 10-15 minutes.
