The Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an academic competition developed by the University of Queensland, Australia in 2008. By 2011, there were more than 900 countries worldwide holding these competitions. In 2020, 3MT moved to a temporary virtual format due to COVID-19 and continued to be held around the world in either a virtual or a live format.
At Oxford Brookes University, we started holding 3MT competitions at Faculty level before COVID-19.
In 2022, we held a multi-faculty virtual competition with fourteen research students presenting their thesis in a 3 minute video
