CU Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition 2020

The Doctoral College and Centre for Research Capability and Development are delighted to announce that we will once again be holding a three minute thesis competition.

Each year we invite Coventry University postgraduate researchers to sign up for CU 3MT. The Research Capability and Development team facilitate 3MT development workshops followed by rehearsal and feedback sessions in the build up to the competition (please see workshop dates below). The heats and grand finale will take place during the week of Research Hootenanny, 13th – 17th January 2020.

What is the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition? 

This is a popular competition held both nationally and internationally between universities. During the 3MT competition doctoral researchers talk about their research for 3 minutes only and a winner is selected by a panel of judges. The emphasis is on communicating research clearly and coherently to a non-specialist audience.

One winner will be selected from Coventry University and a video of their entry will be entered into the 2020 national competition hosted by vitae. Are you ready to have a go?
