Three Minute Thesis Competition - Grand Finale

Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 2:00pm to 4:30pm

Three Minute Thesis is a research communication competition which challenges students to present a compelling oration on their research topic and its significance in just three minutes. The competition develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of research students' capacity to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience. In this finale, the top six finalists from the undergraduate preliminary round and the top eight finalists from the graduate preliminary round will compete for cash prizes.
