Three Minute Thesis and Visualise Your Thesis Final
HDR Student Festival Image
As part of the HDR Student festival the Three Minute Thesis competition and Visualise Your Thesis competition converge for a joint University finals event at Bar on the Hill! Come see our thirteen 3MT finalists perform live for the audience and judges, as well as screenings of our VYT finalists' videos, before the winners of both competitions are announced.
The Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition is a huge international contest spanning more than 900 universities in over 80 countries. In just three minutes, competitors must capture the heart of their research: what they are studying, how they are studying it, and why.
Our finalists will gain critical exposure for their work and themselves as researchers, and the winner will walk away with $5,000 in funding towards their research.
The Visualise Your Thesis (VYT) competition is another contest quickly gaining popularity, with 24 universities now competing across six countries. VYT competitors must produce a 60 second video that explains their research to a general audience, and are able to use a wide variety of audio-visual techniques.
You can view the 2024 finalists videos here.
Come along to the Bar on the Hill and be dazzled by the creative talents of our HDR students while enjoying refreshments throughout the evening.
