Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Training Session (in-person)
A 50,000 word thesis would take 7 hours to present; how about in just 3 minutes with the aid of a single slide?
The 3 Minute Thesis competition challenges doctoral candidates to present a compelling spoken presentation on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes to a non-specialist audience.

This course helps you prepare for the competition and ensure that you have the best chance possible to represent Oxford nationally.
