3MT Three Minute Thesis Submission deadline

The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that assists current graduate students with fostering effective presentation and communication skills. Participants have just three minutes to explain the breadth and significance of their research project to a non-specialist audience.
3MT was developed by The University of Queensland in 2008, and is now held in more than 900 universities in 85 countries around the world.
Master’s and Doctoral students enrolled at UNC from any discipline administered by The Graduate School are welcome to register and participate in the competition.
3MT at UNC Chapel Hill is happening virtually.
Looking for a fun and innovative way to present your research? UNC-Chapel Hill’s Three Minute Thesis competition will be held virtually on Oct. 21. Master’s and doctoral students enrolled in disciplines administered by The Graduate School can register. Information on 3 Minute Thesis at UNC.
