<![CDATA[Thesis is a final assignment that students must complete as a prerequisite for graduation and to obtain a bachelor's degree at a university. This is a challenging task for most students, who must face numerous challenges and obstacles while completing the thesis within a predetermined one-semester timeframe. One factor that is believed to influence students in achieving their thesis is social support, whether from friends, parents, lecturers, or the university. This phenomenological study aims to investigate the influence of social support on the time it takes to complete the thesis of final semester students in Physics Education at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. Research data collection was conducted by administering a questionnaire to 10 final-semester students. Data analysis, which involved analytical reduction, began by identifying important statements from respondents' answers, determining core themes, and interpreting the essence of social support for the completion of the thesis. The study's results found that social support influences the completion of the thesis, as it provides enthusiasm, motivation, and support to students. Social support received by students, whether from friends, parents, or lecturers, offers various types of support, each with its own benefits. All three play a significant role in student life, despite differing types of social support. The positive impact of social support for final-semester students is that it boosts their enthusiasm for their thesis and increases their motivation. The adverse effect is that students become dependent on support from others and misinterpret social support as a social demand that final-semester students must have]]>
