Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an international academic competition developed by the University of Queensland to cultivate students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. If you're a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) student or a Professional Doctorate (research) student, you're eligible to apply (and have the chance to win $3,000!).
Why you should take part
3MT is a great way to showcase your research project to a whole new audience and engage with fellow researchers in the university and the wider community. It supports you in developing your capacity to effectively explain your research in a language appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience.
There are cash prizes for the winners of the UTS 3MT Finals and the opportunity to represent UTS at the 2024 Virtual Asia-Pacific 3MT Competition.
Workshops to help you get started
- 14 May: Research Pitch Fundamentals: How to talk about your research easily, clearly and effectively to ANY audience
- 11 June: Research Communication Essentials: Summarise Your Thesis in 1 slide!
