Three-minute thesis competition for PGR students

The Graduate School is running its first Three-Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition this year and will be entering the UK’s national competition.

This is great opportunity for PGR students to explain their research effectively in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. The 3MT challenges postgraduate research students to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes.

Benefits of taking part:

  • Develop your public engagement and communication skills
  • Opportunity to practise presenting your research to a non-specialist audience
  • Opportunity to publicise your research and yourself as a researcher
  • Chance to win prizes (of up to £600 towards expenses to attend a conference/training event)
  • Raise the profile of our thriving PG research community

More information about the 3MT, including winning presentations from around the Globe can be found here.
