Page Layout ⇒ Page layout is different on pages with chapter titles, ToC.

[Eadrom]

Guys, I'm writting a master thesis in Latex.

I use a class which is apropriate for my university, but there is a mistake in it - I cannot manage to solve this problem.

There is a problem with the page layout - the header and footage are included on almost every page. By saying "almost" I mean that for example there are no footages and headers on table of contents page, on first page of bibliography and also when there is a page with an chapter beginning.

Please look at the pdf attached to this post to understand what I mean.

That's not a mistake. Such pages have "plain" page style, this is common for books. Just take a book, look at the pages where a chapter starts: often the page style is different. One reason is, that it's not very meaningful to print the header, which often contains the current chapter or section title, on a page where there's a big bold chapter heading which already shows the title. Omitting the header rule is a consequence regarding the design.

Just have a look at a dozen books which use headers with titles and rules, and have chapters, and compare, before you start to "fix" a common style. As you said, the style is appropriate for your university, and the different page style is obviously no mistake but it's built in, perhaps think again about modifying that style.
