- At Github: Downlad all files as a zip file (command can be found under the green code menu)
- In overleaf: Create new project -> Upload zip files
- Under MENU -> Change Tex Live Version to 2018(Lecacy)
- Compile

This work is a derivative of the amazing Clean Thesis style developed by Ricardo Langner (http://cleanthesis.der-ric.de). I have adjusted it to adapt a faculty-specific layout based on a single input (the \thesisTheme command).
I have made this for my own master thesis, and since I could find no decent UCPH templates, I decided to compile this.
One thing of interest, which you might want to change is the current page settings; UCPH default settings is two-sided printing with uneven margins & cleaning the last page so new chapters always start on the right side. This can easily be edited in thesis.tex under \documentclass by toggling "twoside" to false and disabling "openright". Furthermore, under ucphthesis.sty, find "page layout modifications": Here you disable "bindingoffset" and change "left" to 2.75. Done and dusted!

Since the bulk work was done by Ricardo Langner in compiling the Clean Thesis package, here is his README:
% **************************************************
-- A LaTeX Style for Thesis Documents --
Clean, Simple, Elegant Clean Thesis is a LaTeX style for thesis documents, developed for my diploma thesis (Diplomarbeit). The style can be understood as my personal compromise — a typical clean looking scientific document combined and polished with minor beautifications.
The design of this Clean Thesis style is inspired by user guide documents from Apple Inc.
Note: If you are looking for an exact and correct style regarding typographic rules, please have a look at the "[Classic Thesis Style](see http://www.miede.de/#classicthesis)".
Donation = Postcard Based on the idea of André Miede: If you like the Clean Thesis style I would be very pleased about a donation in the form of a POSTCARD. You can find my address at the Clean Thesis website as well as in the documentation. I am going to collect all postcards and exhibit them at the website I mentioned.
Idea and Inspiration The idea of providing my customized style for thesis documents passed through my mind while writing my own thesis. Motivated and inspired by the superb "[Classic Thesis Style](see http://www.miede.de/#classicthesis)" by André Miede (thanks to André for doing a great job) I decided to collect all design and style related functionality in a separate LaTeX style and provide this style to other thesis writers.
