The Three Minute Thesis is a skills development activity that challenges graduate students to explain their dissertation or thesis research project to a non-specialist audience. The idea is for students to orally convey the significance of their work using a maximum of three slides in just three minutes. Their ability to present their research to a multidisciplinary audience in accessible and engaging language will be evaluated.
