UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Final

March 14 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Free

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 across the world.

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. More than 130 graduate students compete annually, hoping to advance.

Come support the last ten who have advanced to the final competition! The winner of the event will represent UBC at the Western Regional 3MT competition in Victoria in the spring.

Friday, March 14, 12 – 2 pm, Dodson Room (Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, 1961 East Mall ).
