UoB Three Minute Thesis Final 2024 (In-Person)

An 80,000 word thesis would take 9 hours to present. Their time limit…3 minutes.

The University Graduate School is delighted to invite all University of Birmingham staff and students (Undergraduate, Postgraduate Taught and Research) to join us for the Birmingham 3MT Finals, where our finalists will compete to deliver the best research presentation in three minutes with just one slide!
This annual competition is a great chance to hear about the exciting research being done by postgraduate researchers at UoB. All talks are designed to be for non-specialists, so no prior knowledge required.

Hear our finalists' presentations, join us for a hot drink while the judging panel deliberates, and hear us announce our winners! Plus, a first-look at our presentations before we open our public vote to decide the People's Choice Winner!

Wednesday 15th May, 3pm-5pm BST – the Alan Walters Building (R29 on the campus map), G03 (Lecture Theatre 1).

What is 3MT?

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by the University of Queensland, in which doctoral researchers have just three minutes to deliver an engaging presentation on their thesis topic, its originality and its significance. The concept has developed rapidly, and 3MT competitions are now held in over 900 universities and institutions across more than 80 countries worldwide.

The winning postgraduate researcher will go on to compete in the Vitae’s national 3MT competition and the Universitas 21 international competition.
