What is the 3 Minute Thesis Competition?

The 3 Minute Thesis Competition gives you three minutes to explain your thesis.

You are only allowed one single PowerPoint slide as a visual aid.

The ultimate "elevator pitch", the 3 Minute Thesis Competition is run in universities worldwide.

The winner of the 3 Minute Thesis 2013 will compete in the Trans-Tasman finals hosted by the University of Western Sydney in Australia, and will compete in the inaugural U21 3MT Grand Final Virtual competition.

The 2013 competition is now open. Entries close at 5pm, Friday 28 June.

The heats will be held on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 July, with the final on the evening of  Wednesday, 31 July, so entrants need to be available on these dates to enter. Masters and doctoral research students who have not submitted their thesis (including soft-bound) are eligible to enter.

You will only need to enter your thesis abstract of 300 words or less, and your thesis title. Your one PowerPoint slide will be submitted after the entry closing date.
