Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is a competition developed by the University of Queensland which challenges doctoral students to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance, in just three minutes.
Sheffield Hallam will be holding its 2017 3MT competition on Tuesday 27 June. As well as winning a prize of £500 towards attending an academic conference of their choice, the winner will be put forward as SHU’s entry to the UK national competition hosted by Vitae.
All you have to do is present your doctoral research topic to a mixed-disciplinary audience, using 1 slide and in no more than 3 minutes.
The competition is open to all SHU doctoral researchers who will not have had their viva by 27 June 2017.
Please email doctoralschool@shu.ac.uk by 1pm Tuesday 2 May to express an interest in participating, stating your name, Research Centre/ Faculty, thesis title and preferred heat* (9 May at City Campus or 23 May at Collegiate).
