The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland (UQ), Australia.
Three Minute Thesis heats are held across the University of Canberra’s faculties in June and July each year. The finalists progress to the UC 3MT Finals where they will present their thesis at a livestreamed event in front of a panel of judges.
Competitors needed to convince the judges and audience of their research significance in no more than three minutes, for a chance to win the $4,000 first place prize, $2,000 for the runner up, and $1,000 people’s choice prize.
Faculty heats will be held across two combined heats on Tuesday 6 June during our Research Festival week. The winner, runner-up, and people’s choice wildcard from each heat will move on to the Final.
