What is the Three Minute Thesis Competition?
This professional research communication competition – originally founded by the University of Queensland – cultivates PGRs’ academic, presentation, and professional communication skills. Along with the opportunity to win prizes, it is an opportunity to raise the profile of your research and boost your career.
Additionally, you can use your 3MT® video:
– On LinkedIn for professional networks and prospective employers to see.
– On other social media (e.g. Twitter, TikTok, Instagram) as a means of communicating your research to your wider networks.
Training Workshops
To support the development of communication and presentation skills, knowledge of the competition and to help build confidence PGRs are invited to participate in one of the following virtual 3MT skills workshops:
– Friday 14th April, 10.00-12.00 (UK time).
– Tuesday 18th April, 14.00-16.00 (UK time).
These workshops are useful for skills development, even if you are unsure whether you want to participate in the competition, and there is no obligation to participate after attending the training. For full workshop details and to book your place, please log into Surrey Self Service.
