The Three Minute Thesis* (3MT) competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by graduate students around the world.
Developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), 3MT cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills.
The competition supports their capacity to explain their research effectively in three minutes and in a language appropriate for a non-specialist audience. Participants have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their dissertation or thesis and its significance.
3MT is not an exercise in trivializing or “dumbing-down” research; it challenges students to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries and present them concisely to a non-specialist audience.
* While “thesis” generally refers to master’s-level research projects in the U.S., the term includes doctoral dissertations in much of the world.
(optional) — Wednesday, October 18, 2022, 3:30-4:30pm (MT)
Eligible students must first participate in a preliminary competition in order to receive an invitation to the final competition.
See winning examples of the 3MT.
See the 3MT competitor guide.
