Kent’s 3MT Competition
The Three Minute Thesis Competition celebrates the exciting research conducted by PhD Researchers.
"Even if you are lucky enough to attend plenty of conferences during your studies, the 3MT competition is a great chance to demonstrate an ability to present your research in a clear, succinct manner to an audience who may not be experts in your field, or may not even be that familiar with it at all."

What is the 3MT and why participate?
The 3MT was developed by The University of Queensland (UQ) and challenges researchers to consolidate their ideas and research discoveries and present them to a non-specialist audience in under 3 minutes. To participate you need to be an active PhD or Professional Doctorate (Research) candidate who has passed your probation review, and not had your viva by the date of your first presentation. For information on rules, judging criteria, training resources and FAQs please visit our Moodle page.
The 3MT will help you to:
- Develop your research communication, public engagement, presentation and public speaking skills
- Give you the ability to share your research with a non-expert audience
- Provide networking opportunities
- Help you to reflect on the context and impact of your research
