This is a template for producing Bachelor and Master theses according to the guidelines by the Department of Chemistry, University of Jyväskylä. The formatting follows the guide "Tieteellisen opinnäytetyön kirjoitusohje" located at https://www.jyu.fi/fi/file/opinnaytteidenkirjoitusohje-kemia-2025pdf.

The template has been tested on Overleaf using the pdfLaTeX compiler and the 2025 TeX Live version: the authors recommend using these settings.

Usage:
Recommended: Using Overleaf, create a new project and upload the zip file - everything should work without modifications (few irrelevant compilation errors are to be expected).
Alternative: If you wish to use the template locally, you need a LaTeX editor and previewer. The template uses rather standard packages and works with a rather standard compiler, so local usage should be rather straight-forward. However, this is not tested and no support can be provided.
