The History
In 2010 the University of Newcastle introduced the ‘Three Minute Thesis’ (3MT®) competition for research higher degree candidates. Originally developed in 2008 by the University of Queensland, the academic competition for research students expanded to a national level in 2010, with 33 universities representing over 50,000 PhD and Masters students in Australia and New Zealand competing. The competition continues to grow with more competitors and countries competing annually.
