- `logo_uibk.pdf` - logo of the University of Innsbruck in `.pdf` format

- Title page: either use ''Bachelor Thesis'' or ''Master Thesis''
- Statutory declaration: remove the declaration that does not apply for your thesis

### Compiling your Thesis
This template is optimized for use with `pdflatex`. 
Therefore, please simply call e.g., `pdflatex thesis_template.tex` to compile the thesis. 
This should present you with a compiled pdf-file holding the empty thesis template.

Make sure to also compile the bibtex-file by calling `bibtex thesis_template` and subsequently, compiling the main thesis file again. 

The following commadn should provide you with a fully compiled pdf (including bibliography and resolved references):
`pdflatex thesis_template.tex; bibtex thesis_template; pdflatex thesis_template.tex; pdflatex thesis_template.tex;`
