3 Minute Thesis (3MT) is an academic competition that showcases UNSW’s innovative PhD candidates, who have just 3 minutes to explain their world-changing research and why it is important.
You are invited to join us on Monday, 31st August 2026 at Leighton Hall and hear this year’s UNSW PhD Candidate finalists pitch their world-changing ideas.
The passion in the PhD Candidates and the ability to translate complex topics into simple language and to inspire us was really incredible … really incredible
