The end of a journey?
Abstract
This closing chapter provides a brief reflection on the milestone that is submitting a dissertation and the importance of recognising how this can lead to mixed emotions. Linked to this, the chapter offers thoughts on taking a moment to celebrate this achievement, to recognise the need to recharge and recover from the project as part of a reorientation to other academic commitments in the short term, and a reminder of how the dissertation can be used in the longer term to support career development.
