ThuThesis is the official LaTeX thesis template for Tsinghua University, one of China's most prestigious research institutions. Maintained by TUNA (Tsinghua University Network Administrators), the template provides comprehensive formatting for bachelor's, master's, and doctoral theses, as well as postdoctoral reports, ensuring full compliance with Tsinghua University's stringent formatting requirements.
Writing a thesis involves balancing content creation with precise typographic standards. ThuThesis eliminates the formatting burden by encoding all institutional requirements into LaTeX class files: page margins, font selections, heading hierarchy, bibliography formatting, front matter structure, and appendix layout are all handled automatically. Researchers can focus entirely on writing while the template ensures every page, caption, and citation meets the graduation office requirements.
With over 5,000 GitHub stars, ThuThesis has become the de facto standard for thesis typesetting at Tsinghua. Its codebase also serves as a reference implementation for other university thesis templates in China, influencing templates at dozens of institutions.
