Most institutions will ask you to complete a permission form to allow the inclusion and availability of your final thesis in a digital knowledge database. If you have concluded an agreement with your work placement organisation stating that your thesis may not be made public or distributed in any other way, your thesis may be included in the repository but may not be made publicly available. In these cases, only your name and the thesis title will be available. The inclusion of a publication in the institution's repository is a form of reproduction, the rights to which belong to the copyright owner(s) (i.e. you).
