Imagine trying to condense years of complex research and fieldwork into one-slide and a three-minute presentation. That’s the challenge (and opportunity) presented to graduate students in the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, an exciting academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills.

What is 3MT?

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland which challenges research higher degree students to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.​
