What does a thesis cost?
The cost of a thesis consists of two parts: the design and printing. Printing is normally outsourced to one of our partners, but it is also possible to work with another printer.The price for printing can be requested directly from the printer. Based on your requirements, we are happy to provide advice. But what does designing your dissertation cost?
Our most chosen option costs €679 (ex. VAT). For this fixed price, we design the inside, a standard cover and the bookmark invitation. We design any propositions free of charge.
What does a thesis cost with urgency?
If you have limited time, we can design your thesis within 8 business days from the moment the final files are provided. In this case, you choose a template and a surcharge of €89 applies. Please check our urgent procedure for more details.
What are the costs of a thesis cover?
Persoonlijk Proefschrift can also design only your cover. We offer a standard or a premium cover. More information about your dissertation cover design can be found at the bottom of this page.
