Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Competition 2023

Loughborough University’s Doctoral College is excited to announce this year’s Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition for Doctoral Researchers.

3MT® is a vibrant and enlightening research communication developed by The University of Queensland, Australia. 

Entrants have three minutes (and a single static slide) in which to present a compelling oration on their thesis and its importance.  

This provides an excellent opportunity for participants to develop their communication and presentation skills. Moreover, it challenges Doctoral Researchers to share their ideas and discoveries concisely to non-specialists.  

This year each School will organise a 3MT® competition (dates and times to be confirmed) and winners will be put forward to take part in the University’s 3MT® Grand Final at the Doctoral College’s Summer Showcase (28 June 2023, 9am-1pm).  

All  finalists will receive a certificate of participation. 

The winner of the Grand Final will receive £150 and will be put forward to enter regional and national 3MT® competitions. There will also be ‘Runner-up’ and ‘People’s Choice’ prizes.
