Where Do Acknowledgements Go in a Dissertation?

The dissertation acknowledgements appear directly after the title page and before the abstract, and should usually be no longer than one page. In the acknowledgements, you can use a more informal style than is usually permitted in academic writing.

Where do you put the acknowledgements?

For papers, the Acknowledgments section is usually presented at the back, whereas in a thesis, this section is located towards the front of the manuscript and is commonly placed somewhere between the abstract and introduction.

Do acknowledgements come before or after contents?

GUIDELINES FOR WRITING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. A page of acknowledgements is usually included at the beginning of a Final Year Project, immediately after the Table of Contents. Acknowledgements enable you to thank all those who have helped in carrying out the research.
