Three Minute Thesis
Can you do it?
One thesis. Three minutes.
Every year, universities all around the world hold the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition to celebrate the exciting research conducted by their PhD students.
In this competition, your challenge is to condense complex PhD research into a three-minute presentation for a general audience.
Along with the fun, excitement, and challenge, this is your opportunity to:
- showcase your research
- build your academic, presentation, and research communication skills
- affirm and strengthen your confidence
- raise your public profile
- network with other graduate researchers
- receive 2 hours of professional development credit towards the Monash Doctoral Program
- win prizes and clinch the 2019 winner’s title
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland, Australia.
