Dear Rachel,
We give our students the option to apply a CC licence. The one we 
recommend to them in training is the Attribution Non commercial No 
derivative works unported 3.0 licence, but they are free to choose a 
less restrictive licence if they want to.
We are currently doing training sessions for current postgrads in all 
our academic schools on copyright in relation to etheses.  This is 
mainly training with regard to third party copyright issues but we do 
spend some time describing how the postgrads' copyright on their work is 
asserted.  So we recommend the CC licence and we also put some emphasis 
on other visible statements in our repository which assert copyright 
ownership.  We create cover sheets for each thesis and if the student 
has chosen to apply a CC licence we also put an extra statement about 
the CC licence onto these cover sheets too.   This gets the statement 
about the CC licence into the full text document.

Janet
