The Three Minute Thesis Competition (3MT) is an oral research communication competition. Competitors must demonstrate academic, presentation and research communication skills and develop the capacity to effectively explain their research in language that is appropriate to an intelligent but non-specialist audience.

Candidates literally have three minutes to present a compelling oration on their thesis topic and its significance to the world.  Preparation of a 3MT requires candidates to consolidate research ideas, crystallise discoveries and pitch the work articulately and concisely, as if to the media.  The talk should engage the audience without reducing the research to entertainment value only.

The winner of the UTAS final will go on to compete at the national 3MT Competition at the University of Western Sydney in October.

This session is for registered attendees
