TUM Thesis Latex Template

A latex theis template for Technical University of Munich (TUM), extracted from my own master thesis. The cover is based on Technical University of Munich (tumphthesis).

Requirement

This template was tested with both the online environment Overleaf and the local environment VSCode Latex Workshop. About how to set up Latex Workshop in VSCode, please look at LaTeX Workshop - Installation and basic settings.

Structure

• main.tex is the main tex file, where you can change the basic information and the chapters you want to include. It is the beginning point for you to write your own thesis.
• Folder chapters contains chapters in the main text. Your main text of each chapter should be written here.
• Folder meta contains those meta parts of a thesis:
  • Your abstract and acknowledgement should be written here.
  • You may want an abbreviation list then you can use abbr.tex, or you can ignore it by comment relevant lines in allfrontmatters.tex.

 

• ref.bib is a bibtex file for references.
• Folder figures contains pictures.

 

• .latexmkrc is a compile configuration for latex, ensure the generation of the abbreviation list.
• tumthesis.cls is a self-defined document class, most of the typesetting is done here.
