Three-Minute Thesis video presentations

02 September 2021 | News

3MT is an annual competition that challenges thesis students to describe their research to an intelligent but non-academic audience in only three minutes, using just one powerpoint slide.

The competition was run slightly differently this year, as all contestants submitted pre-recorded videos instead of giving live presentations. Judges selected 10 finalists, whose video presentations were screened at a grand final event on 12 August. 

Check out the presentations below.
