Three Minute Thesis Final
7th May 2020
80,000 word thesis, one slide, three minutes… who’s going to win?
An 80,000 word thesis would take nine hours to present; our finalists have explained theirs in just three minutes with the aid of a single slide!
The 3MT competition challenged finalists to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in three minutes in a language appropriate to a non‐specialist audience. Competitors were allowed one PowerPoint slide, but no other resources or props.
