Share a picture of your thesis dedication page and tell us about the person or thing that helped you conquer one of the biggest milestones in academia

Completing a PhD requires brains, guts, perseverance – and a loyal friend. Whether it’s your mum, your supervisor or your football team, every PhD student has a source of inspiration that helps them keep going, even when they’re up to their eyeballs in reading.

A dedication page is the perfect way to show your gratitude, stir the heart strings of future readers, or demonstrate your dry sense of humour. Show us who helped you along your PhD journey by sharing a picture of your thesis dedication, and telling us a little about who helped you.

Closing date is 4 January 2015.
