Let's put the matter the other way around. All institutions that
I know of outside the Anglo-Saxon world allow you to produce a thesis
in whatever format you want, as long as it adheres to some
guidelines for its organization. That is, the title page should contain
certain things, there should be a summary, a cv, et cetera.

It's amazing that this sort of common sense is still lacking
in certain parts of the world.
