Frequently asked questions
Questions from institutions.
What is eThesis and how does it work?
eThesis is a thesis management platform for universities and research centers. It runs every step in one place: topic discovery with student-interest matching, the project agreement, supervision in the MyThesis workspace, grading by one or several examiners, and publication to your repository. It replaces the mix of email, spreadsheets and shared drives most institutions rely on today.
How does eThesis save time for our staff?
Approvals are routed automatically, reminders and follow-ups go out on their own, and every agreement, file and grade sits in one record. Supervisors spend their time on feedback instead of chasing emails, and secretariats no longer forward signed forms by hand.
Can the platform handle different degree programs and workflows?
Yes. eThesis supports bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs across departments, each with its own supervision model, approval steps and academic rules.
Can eThesis integrate with our existing university systems?
Yes. eThesis connects to student information systems (SIS), learning management systems (LMS), single sign-on, plagiarism tools and institutional repositories. Meetings run through the tool you already use, such as Teams, Zoom or Google Meet.
Is eThesis GDPR compliant?
Yes. eThesis is GDPR compliant. Access is role-based, every action is logged and traceable, and with an on-premises deployment your data stays on your own servers.
Can we migrate our existing thesis data to the platform?
Yes. Existing thesis records, users and topics can be migrated into eThesis, so your history is in one place from the first day.
How customizable is eThesis to our processes?
Very. Institutions adapt workflows, user roles, approval steps, permissions, reporting and thesis methodologies to their own policies and governance. Custom modules can be built when a process needs one.
What support, training and onboarding do you provide?
Every implementation includes onboarding, training for administrators, faculty and students, role-based handbooks and ongoing support after launch.
What is your pricing model?
eThesis is licensed as an annual subscription per user. A one-time setup fee covers installation, and custom modules or integrations are quoted separately. Most institutions start with one department and expand from there.
Do you offer on-premises deployment or only the cloud?
Both. eThesis runs in the cloud or on-premises within your own infrastructure, depending on your security and IT policies.
Can professors issue digital skills?
Yes. Professors issue verifiable digital skills in MyThesis, during the thesis and after it. They follow Open Badges 3.0 and W3C Verifiable Credentials, use ESCO skills and align with Europass, so students can carry them anywhere.
