Do you think you’re a good communicator? Can you explain your thesis in a compelling way to people outside of your field? How about doing that in just three minutes?

Three Minute Thesis, 3MT, is a national competition which asks you to do just that. 3MT challenges doctoral students to present their research topic to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes, giving them an opportunity to showcase their research and develop essential public engagement skills.

More details about how to enter the 2025 3MT competition will be circulated via email and updated here in January 2025.
