Writing an acknowledgement for a thesis is a major aspect of a successful project. It is essential to recognize and thank all of the people who have provided assistance and guidance throughout the process.
Start by thanking your supervisor and mentors. If possible, you should name them individually to express your gratefulness. You can thank those who have contributed to the research process, such as helping design experiments, participate in surveys, and review your work. If you had an external advisor, donor, or consultant, be sure to thank them as well.
You should also thank any colleagues or peers who have supported your work, provided feedback and constructive criticism, and offered encouragements. If specific family and friends have been particularly supportive, be sure to thank them as well.
Aside from people, you could also thank organizations or funders for granting you access to research material, providing technical support, or sponsoring the project.
Finally, make sure you express your gratitude for the educators, teachers, and lecturers that have guided you throughout the process.
When you finish, remember to check and double-check your emotions and which individuals or institutions you have thanked. Your acknowledgments are a way to show appreciation, so make sure to include everyone you are truly thankful to.
