An 80,000 word thesis would take 9 hours to present. Their time limit… 3 minutes.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition was set up by the University of Queensland in 2008. Since then, the competition has soared in popularity and is competitions are held in over 350 universities across the world. 3MT® is a celebration of PhD research, challenging students to explain their research to a non-specialist audience in three minutes.
For the first time in 2016, Edinburgh Napier University took part in 3MT® and its back this year!
