How do you send and deliver the thesis?
After production, we pack the theses in handy boxes. These boxes are sent by an overnight courier. This courier collects the theses one working day before the delivery date agreed on. On the next day, he will deliver the theses between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The shipment is normally delivered to the University. This is more practical, as someone needs to be present during office hours.

The idea of the proof is that you can check it and make any changes necessary. The time you need for doing this properly is taken into account in the planning. After you have checked the proof, we look forward to receiving your approval for the final files.

During the process, you will receive a proof of the thesis. It comes as a paper proof as standard, which you can check for quality and content.
