Three Minute Thesis Competition

On 23 May 2018 we are holding the 2018 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition from 18.00 – 21.00 in the Clore Lecture Theatre, an event which provides an opportunity to celebrate a diverse range of work from PhD Researchers across the College, and to invite you to come and support the Birkbeck PhD students taking part as they each compete to communicate their thesis in just three minutes.

The Three Minute Thesis Competition is a global event and the Birkbeck winner will have the opportunity to go through to the UK semi-final.

This year we are combining the 3MT event with a poster competition and prizes will be awarded for both competitions on the night: £500 for the best 3MT entry and £300 for the best poster. The winners will be chosen by an expert panel of judges and the audience will also get a chance to have their say by picking a people’s choice winner for the 3MT competition. A drinks reception will be provided after the 3MT event and you will have a chance to view the posters and meet with those who take part in the competitions.
