Birmingham Three Minute Thesis Competition

Birmingham 3MT: Three minutes, one great idea...
  • Could you effectively communicate the significance of your research in just three minutes?
  • Would you like to compete for generous international research bursaries?
  • Are you up for the Three Minute Thesis challenge?
Developed by the University of Queensland in 2008, the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition gives you just three minutes to deliver an engaging presentation on your thesis topic, its originality and its significance.
The first Birmingham 3MT competition will take place in the Great Hall on Friday 27 September 2013. Prizes will be offered, including an overall winner's award of a £1,000 bursary to visit a Universitas 21 institution of your choice, as well as the chance to represent Birmingham in a virtual U21 3MT Final to compete for a further travel bursary worth $2,500 (USD).
As a current doctoral researcher, we warmly invite you to take part in the Birmingham 3MT. To find out more and to enter the competition, please visit intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/3MT
