UC3M IEEE thesis template

This is a Typst template for bachelor/master thesis on Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, following university guidelines¹.

The template is based on ldcas-uc3m/thesis-template and clean-uc3m (a fork of clean-dhbw).

Usage

Note

This is still in beta. The following is a quick and dirty way of setting up your thesis.

We plan on publishing this to the official repository (Typst Universe) eventually, to have a cleaner setup process.

1. Make a folder for your report.
2. Clone or download this folder, as a subfolder.
3. Move the files inside template/ to your project folder.
4. Change the following line in main.typ:

   @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
   -#import "/lib.typ": conf
   +#import "uc3m-thesis-ieee-typst/lib.typ": conf

5. [Optional, but recommended] Delete the .git/, template/ folders and typst.toml, .gitignore files.

The resulting structure should be as follows:

my-thesis/
├─ main.typ
├─ references.bib
├─ parts/
│  ├─ ...
├─ ...
├─ uc3m-thesis-ieee-typst/
│  ├─ img/
|  │  ├─ ...
│  ├─ lib.typ
│  ├─ ...

Compilation

Install Typst and run:

typst compile main.typ

Tip

For VS Code users, it is recommended to use the Tinymist Typst extension, which works without needing to install the compiler.

Tip

For Neovim users, it is recommended to use the typst-preview.nvim plugin.

Footnotes

1. We consider some of the guidelines to be... plain ol' ugly, so we took some liberties in the formatting of headings, headers, footers, captions, colors... If you still want to strictly adhere to the guidelines, set style to "strict". ↩
