Ethical Approval, > Abstract, Declaration, Table of Contents.) How do I do that? Do you know KOMA-Scrip? It has good support for title pages. Check section 3.7 in the KOMA-Script manual. If it has everything you need just that. If your university provides a latex template, and one department there certainty will, why not use that? Just port the university's class or recommend preamble to Org via org-latex-classes, org-latex-title-command, #+LATEX_HEADER or similar. Alternatively, it's not hard roll you own title-page.tex. An example is below.
