Three Minute Thesis

Registrations open on 7 May 2025 and close 9 June 2025.

The 3 Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a national competition that challenges Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students to effectively explain their research to a non-specialist audience in just three minutes. The aim is to cultivate their academic, presentation, and research communication skills while celebrating the exciting research conducted by HDR students across the country.

Additionally, 3MT provides great networking opportunities and the chance for students to represent their research beyond their School.  There are a number of prizes on offer at both Faculty and University level, with the winner of the University competition going on to represent the University of Adelaide in the 2025 Asia-Pacific Three Minute Thesis final.

Participating students also receive 5 CaRST credits in Domain D, with extra credits available for attending the 3MT Information and Training sessions.
