Bachelor’s and master’s thesis formatting

Format your completed work to meet your university, faculty or supervisor's requirements. We format bachelor's and master's theses and coursework: from margins and heading styles to the table of contents, lists, numbering, tables, footnotes and bibliography.

Your content. Consistent layout. University guidelines.

The thesis is written.
Now take care of its formatting.

Formatting a bachelor's or master's thesis in Word includes page settings, heading styles, numbering, and automatic tables of contents. We help organise a finished document according to the guidelines provided by the university, faculty, or supervisor, ensuring a consistent layout that remains easy to edit.

What you gain

Fewer manual corrections. More order.

Save time

Instead of correcting every heading and page number individually, you receive support in organising the formatting of the entire document.

The thesis looks consistent

Consistent styles, readable tables, and an organised table of contents and lists make the material easier to navigate and give it a polished appearance.

Requirements have their place

The provided guidelines form the basis for changes. We adapt the layout, footnotes, and other elements to the rules applicable to your thesis.

Scope of support

From page settings to the final table of contents and lists

You can commission improvements to selected elements or full adaptation of the document to university guidelines. The scope of support may include, among other things:

Document layout

Thesis formatting and page settings

When the document has different fonts, spacing, or a layout that does not meet the requirements.

  • Formatting bachelor's and master's theses or coursework
  • Adjusting margins, fonts, line spacing, and paragraphs
  • Creating and correcting heading styles
  • Setting indents, alignment, and spacing between paragraphs

Result: a uniform appearance of text and headings adapted to the provided rules.

Thesis navigation

Automatic table of contents and numbering

When the table of contents or other lists need correction and page or chapter numbering is inconsistent.

  • Preparing an automatic table of contents
  • Creating lists of tables, charts, figures and appendices
  • Organising page and chapter numbering
  • Setting page and section breaks and title-page numbering according to the requirements

Result: a readable document structure that makes it easier to find the correct chapter or element.

Thesis elements

Tables, captions, and source layout

When data, captions, and sources need a common way of presentation.

  • Improving the layout of tables, charts, and captions
  • Organising drawings and references to elements in the text
  • Setting the layout of footnotes and the bibliography in the document
  • Correcting spacing, indentation, and page breaks in the references section

Result: consistent layout of tables, captions, and the references section.

Checking the content of citations and the consistency of references with sources is covered by the service “Reference list and citation corrections for your thesis”.

Preparation for submission

Compliance with university guidelines

When you want to organise the formal aspects of your thesis before submitting the document.

  • Checking document compliance with university guidelines
  • Adapting to the requirements of the faculty or supervisor
  • Formatting the title page according to the template and arranging abstracts and appendices
  • Technical preparation of the document for submission to the supervisor or the dean's office

Result: a document technically refined within the agreed scope.

Scope of support in brief

Give your completed thesis a consistent form

Send the file for editing and the university guidelines. I will adapt the document layout to the provided requirements and the agreed scope.

  • Heading styles and page settings.
  • Numbering, table of contents, lists and captions.
  • Organised tables and formal elements.

Your requirements are the starting point

One university, specific rules

Guidelines may specify not only margins and fonts, but also the title page template, the order of thesis sections, the placement of page numbers, the appearance of tables, and citation style. One university requires footnotes, while another requires in-text references according to a specified standard. We adapt the document to the current rules of your university or faculty and the arrangements made with your supervisor. The order of work and the checklist are presented in the guide formatting a thesis according to university guidelines.

Assistance covers both the thesis and other materials requiring technical organisation:

  • Bachelor's and master's theses
  • Coursework
  • Research projects
  • Research methodologies
  • Research questionnaires
  • Multimedia presentations

Having trouble with styles in Word? We help organise headings, the table of contents, lists and numbering so the document works as a coherent whole.

Tailored scope

Word formatting that can be updated later

We refine both the appearance of the pages and the way the document works: styles, section breaks, captions, the table of contents and other lists. This means that later text changes do not require you to format everything manually from scratch.

Full organisation of the DOCX file

The scope may include page settings, text and heading styles, numbering, captions, an automatic table of contents and other lists. We also check where manual spaces, empty paragraphs or accidental breaks disrupt the layout. The title page and appendices follow the template you provide.

Correction of specific elements

You can order only the repair of the table of contents, page numbering, table captions, or the bibliography layout. Indicate the problem and send an editable file. We tailor the solution to its structure, rather than creating another manual workaround that will stop working after a chapter change.

You receive an organised document in the agreed format. If you also need a PDF, we will agree on this when preparing the quote. Before the final export, complete any content changes and update the table of contents and other lists. Citation checking is covered by the service “Reference list and citation corrections for your thesis”.

Original example

Thesis formatting: document appearance and mechanics

This is a demonstration fragment prepared for the website, not a client document. It shows the difference between manually adjusting text and organising a Word file. We select the font, margins, and other parameters according to your guidelines.

Before organising

1. METHODOLOGY

Title manually enlarged

1.1 Research objective

Different font and random indentation

Table of contents typed manually: page numbers must be corrected after every change.

Table no. 1
Caption entered as plain text, outside the automatic list.

After organising

1. Methodology

Heading 1 style

1.1. Research objective

Heading 2 style and consistent hierarchy

Table of contents based on headings: after changing the document, you update the table of contents field.

Table 1. Characteristics of the study group
Caption linked to numbering and the list of tables.

What changes in the file?

  • Headings have assigned styles and a consistent level order.
  • The table of contents uses headings, and captions use the numbering mechanism.
  • Page numbers and section breaks are organised according to the provided requirements.

What you will receive: an editable document within the agreed scope. After further text changes, update the table of contents and other lists and check the layout before exporting to PDF.

First step

Send the document and guidelines

We provide the service online, so you can use support from anywhere in Poland. For the initial assessment and scope definition, please prepare:

Current version of the document

Send the file you want to organise. State whether the text is final or if you plan further changes.

Technical requirements

Include the current university or faculty guidelines, a title-page template and your supervisor's instructions. Specify the required version of the citation standard, if one has been set.

Scope of needed corrections

Indicate whether you need full formatting or specific elements, e.g. lists, footnotes, bibliography, or tables.

Length and deadline

The price depends on the document length and the scope of changes – fixing page numbering alone differs from organising styles, sections, the table of contents and other lists throughout the thesis. Send an editable Word file, your university guidelines and the deadline you need. After reviewing the document, I will confirm the quote and whether the work can be completed.

Before contacting us

Most common questions about thesis formatting

Can I commission only the bibliography, footnotes, table of contents, or numbering?

Yes. You do not need to order a full thesis correction. You can commission only the bibliography, footnotes, formatting, table of contents, tables, charts, appendices, page numbering, or adapting the document to university guidelines.

This is a good solution when the content is ready, but the document requires technical organisation before sending it to the supervisor, checking it in JSA, or submitting it to the university.

Which guidelines should I send?

It is best to provide the current technical requirements of the university or faculty and the supervisor's notes. These may specify margins, font, line spacing, headings, footnotes, bibliography, and how to describe tables and figures.

Can you adapt the thesis to APA 7?

The scope can include formatting citations, bibliography, headings, tables, and captions according to APA 7, if required by the provided guidelines. Send the current university document, as it may specify its own settings or indicate a different version of the standard.

Does formatting include language proofreading?

This service concerns the technical and formal aspects of the document. If you also need language, style, or sentence structure improvement, check the service “Bachelor’s and master’s thesis proofreading and editing”

How are the price and deadline for formatting my thesis agreed?

Send the document, requirements, and the needed deadline. After an initial assessment, the scope of corrections can be agreed, the quote discussed, and feasibility checked.
