What is 3MT?

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by the University of Queensland in 2008, in which doctoral researchers (PhD and higher doctorates) have just three minutes to deliver an engaging presentation on their thesis topic, its originality and its significance.

With universities across the world now holding their own 3MT competitions, we are delighted to be running the University of Birmingham 3MT and to invite our own doctoral researchers to participate in such a highly-regarded competition.

If you are a current doctoral researcher interested in developing your presentation and research communication skills, raising the profile of your research and having the chance to win a research bursary, we encourage you to read more on our 3MT Intranet page and then join the Canvas Course to take part in 3MT 2024.

Who can enter?

This event is open only to those currently registered on a doctoral programme (such as a PhD) at the University of Birmingham. This includes researchers who have submitted their thesis but will not have their viva before the competition Heats on 1st May 2024.
