Abstract:
A comprehensive LaTeX/Word thesis template designed specifically for Engineering Master's programs at the University of Bologna (Unibo). The template is fully compliant with the university's official formatting and submission guidelines, featuring a structured layout that covers all required sections — from the title page and abstract to bibliography and appendices. Ideal for students looking to focus on their research rather than formatting.
Created using university Guideline for Automation Engineering noted at the website :- "https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/AutomationEngineering/information-on-writing-a-dissertation"
