Nearly 30 graduate students are competing in the UBC 3MT (Three Minute Thesis) Semi-Finals – come watch, learn more about their research and support them!
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. Originally developed at the University of Queensland, the 3MT is now held worldwide. UBC was one of the first universities in North America to host a 3MT competition, when it held the inaugural 3MT @UBC in 2011. Every year heats are held across campus beginning in February, with winners moving on to the UBC-wide Semi-Finals and Finals in March.
This year’s Semi-Final and Final events are happening next week at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (Dodson Room, third floor). Come support participants and cheer them on, whether virtually or in person. The top five presenters from each Semi-Final will advance to the Final event on Friday.
The winner of the Final event on Friday will go on to represent UBC at the Western Regional event in May. For more information visit the 3MT website.
