Three Minute Thesis

What is the Three Minute Thesis competition?

Doctoral students talk about their research for 3 minutes only and a winner is selected by a panel of judges. The heats will be fun, fast paced and fact filled – so come along and enjoy!

One winner will be selected from Coventry University at the Grand Final and a video of their entry will be entered into the 2018 national competition hosted by Vitae.
