The Three Minute Thesis® is a research communication competition devised by the University of Queensland that is now held in over 900 universities worldwide. It challenges doctoral candidates to present their research topic to a non-specialist audience, giving a compelling presentation explaining their work and its significance – in just three minutes.
We have been running 3MT® at Sheffield Hallam since 2015 with our winner going forward to the semi-final of the UK competition hosted by Vitae each year. You can find out more about the 3MT® via the Vitae website.
