The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a competition held annually at the college, university, regional, national and international levels. Only master’s students working on their thesis and Ph.D. students working on their own research may participate in this prestigious competition that includes a monetary award for the top winners. The goal of the competition is for the graduate student to effectively explain their current research and outcomes in three minutes, with only one PowerPoint slide, to a general (non-expert) audience.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
All master’s students working on their master’s thesis and their own research, as well as all Ph.D. students working on their own research, are invited to attend.
IMPORTANT: If you are a 2024 Hayes winner, please come and learn more about the 3MT®.
3MT Competition has Been Revised
The 3MT has been revised to accommodate students from colleges that hold their own internal 3MT® competition and those students from colleges that do not.
