Change title of Absract

[TorkelE]

Currently, the abstract title is just "Abstract:

However, according to the instructions at: https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/your-course/examinations/graduate-exam-information/after-examination/degree-approval-and-1

Is there a way to change the header on the abstract page from "Abstract" to the thesis title and my name?

Please have a look at the README class options

There is an option for Document Class abstract: This option enables only the thesis title page and the abstract with title and author to be printed.

Thank you, while this provides the desired abstract page: the rest of the thesis is not present. Is there a way to get the abstract change, but also compile the full thesis?

You should be able to modify the class file to achieve the desired effect.

In PhDThesisPSnPDF.cls change line 1135:

\chapter*{\centering \Large \@abstracttitle}

to these lines:

\begin{center}
    { \Large {\bfseries {\@title}} \par}
    {{\Large \vspace*{1em} \@author} \par}
\end{center}
\begingroup
    \renewcommand{\cleardoublepage}{}
    \renewcommand{\clearpage}{}
    \chapter*{\centering \Large Abstract}
\endgroup

That should achieve the desired result
