My university provided me with a LaTeX template to prepare my thesis but they didn't update the class file although they have changed the rules. In the image, you will see the current rules. Also, the following code part of the class file is the relevant part for it. I tried everything I know but I failed. Can anyone please update it for me?
Rules in the image file: top, bottom, outer sides: 2.5 cm spaces, inner sides: 4 cm spaces
Besides the image file, they also said that:
Page numbers must be 1.5 cm above the bottom of the page, in the direction of the reading.

geometryto set the margins. It is quite easy to use (see the manual). But because the margins in the code above are set using\AtBeginDocument, you would have to use\newgeometryafter\begin{document}to change the margins. However, if your university provides a template, that does not fit the rules, you should also contact the maintainer of the template.geometryparameter, but could be accomplised withtitlesecor a similar package.
