On Acknowledgements
Someone mentioned by name on your acknowledgements page can probably help you prepare for your viva in some way.
Your supervisors, your peers and colleagues, your friends and family – there’s a wealth of practical support they can give and it’s good to ask for it. You attend the viva by yourself, but you don’t have to feel alone as you prepare. Ask in advance and get the help you need.
Anyone on your acknowledgements page deserves to be thanked in-person as well. Take the time to tell them what they’ve done to help you get as far as you have.
