    I think it depends on the documentclass and the packages you use... So please give a minimum working example starting from the documentclass command and ending in \end{document}... Welcome!

  • Look for the file MastersDoctoralThesis.cls.
  • Open it in a text editor of your choice. I recommend notepad++.
  • Lines 202-203 are important.
  • Delete labelfont=sc (sc = Small Caps, google it!) or replace it with labelfont=bf for example.
  • Have a look at the caption manual for further information.
  • Recommended: As you can read in the comments, alternatively, you can just use \captionsetup{labelfont=bf} before \begin{document}.
\RequirePackage{caption} % Required for customising the captions
\captionsetup{justification=centerlast,font=small,labelfont=sc,margin=50pt}

    Eh... usually editing .cls files is not recommended, unless it is a really bad class (which will be improved by editing, most likely ;-))

    \captionsetup{labelfont=bf} before \begin{document} in the document is enough, without editing the .cls file

  • I edited the answer accordingly. Since the cls file is not part of a distribution like MiKTeX I did not think that is a "big deal".

    It's one of those template classes with issues. Ask @Johannes_B for more information ;-)

    Making a change in the preamble should be the only answer shown. Changing the class file is just wrong, imho. See the class file itself. Also, it makes support so so so very much harder.
