What is the 3MT?
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland. Students present their research—in just three minutes and with one static slide—to a non-specialist audience. It’s a fun and challenging way to strengthen public speaking and storytelling skills while showcasing impactful work.
Who Can Compete?
All currently enrolled graduate and professional school students in Texas are invited to apply. Whether you’re conducting original research, completing a literature review, or preparing a capstone project, all forms of academic inquiry are welcome!
