Three Minute Thesis
Every year, GSBS hosts a Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT) aimed at highlighting and celebrating the amazing work of our PhD students.
Developed by the University of Queensland, the competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills. The competition supports their capacity to effectively explain their research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-special audience.
