2024 Three Minute Thesis (3MT)
An 80,000 word PhD thesis would take 9 hours to present. Your time limit... 3 minutes.
The Graduate Research School and Researcher Development Unit are thrilled to announce the UOW Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition is happening again in 2024! Developed by the University of Queensland, the 3MT competition celebrates the dynamic research conducted by Higher Degree by Research (HDR) candidates. This prestigious and world-renowned competition is an invaluable exercise in the importance of communication and presentation skills.
This year's UOW 3MT competition is going to be bigger and better than ever. The 2024 3MT competition will take us back to pre-pandemic times, where candidates will present their thesis LIVE in 3 minutes (no more recordings!)
This year, 3MT will also be part of a larger program developed to improve research communication skills in graduate researchers. To learn more about the UOW 3MT Program Events or to register your interest in participating in the UOW 3MT Faculty Heats, click the button below.
