PGR Applications of Interest – Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition 2019 – Win £500
About
3MT challenges doctoral candidates to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes using just one static PowerPoint slide.
In the UK, the 3MT national competition final is hosted by Vitae. Individual UK universities run their own competitions and put forward one winner per participating institution for the national finals. The University of Manchester is one of around 40 institutions participating in 2019.

3MT develops your academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of your capacity to effectively explain your research in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. You will have access to exclusive 3MT presentation training.
Oh and don’t forget the prizes: £500 winner, £100 runner up, and £100 audience favourite
