Do you want to showcase your PhD? Raise the profile of your research? Be in with the chance of winning over £500 worth in prizes?
If the answer is yes to any of the above then the 3MT® might be the opportunity for you.
The 3MT® competition cultivates students’ academic, presentation, and research communication skills.
Presenting in a 3MT® competition increases capacity to effectively explain research in three minutes, in a language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.
Eligibility: Active PhD and Professional Doctorate candidates who have successfully passed their transfer milestone (including candidates whose thesis is under submission) by the date of their first presentation are eligible to participate. If your Viva Voce will take place before the date of the University final (7 June 2018) you are not eligible to enter the competition.
Eligible applicants should submit a fully completed application form, to the Research Skills and Development Officers at PGRskillsdevelopment@bournemouth.ac.uk by midnight on Monday 5 February 2018.
We look forward to receiving your application.
