The Masters Dissertations collection contains digital copies of AUT University masters dissertations deposited with the Library since 2007 and made available on open access. From 2007 onwards, all dissertations for masters degrees awarded are required to be deposited in Scholarly Commons unless subject to an embargo.

Dissertations submitted prior to 2007 are usually recorded in the AUT Library catalogue where the full text, if available, may be accessed with an AUT password. Other people should request an Interlibrary Loan through their library.
