At the 3 Minute Thesis competition, your challenge is to present your Masters or doctoral research in just 3 minutes, with only 1 slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can do that well enough, you could become AUT&#8217;s 3MT champ and progress to national and international competitions (as well as winning great prizes). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entries are now open, and you can find all the info and online entry forms on our <a href=\"https:\/\/student.aut.ac.nz\/postgraduate-research\/postgraduate-student-community-and-events\/postgrad-research-events\/3mt-competition\">Student Hub Online 3MT page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re quick, you can also book into our <a href=\"https:\/\/elab.aut.ac.nz\/students\/events\/Detail\/1543979\/presentation-skills-three-minu\">Presentation Skills for the 3MT Competition workshop<\/a> on Monday at 1pm on the city campus. (If you can&#8217;t make that time, there&#8217;s another session on <a href=\"https:\/\/elab.aut.ac.nz\/students\/events\/Detail\/1543980\/presentation-skills-three-minu\">Thursday 10 June<\/a>.) This workshop covers the judging criteria and lots of tips and tricks for writing your content, fine-tuning your delivery, and designing the perfect slide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, like last year, entry is via video. That&#8217;s because 3MT is an international competition, and many competing nations are still in COVID lockdown and unable to gather for live presentations. But don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;ll support you through the process of making and editing your video. It may require slightly more technical work than presenting live, but at least there&#8217;s no stage fright!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more insights into the process of creating a video 3MT entry, check out our articles about the experiences of last year&#8217;s winners <a href=\"https:\/\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/?p=8315\">Marianne Carroll (Masters)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/?p=8389\">Megan Burfoot (Doctoral)<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?resize=800%2C253&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?resize=150%2C47&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?resize=300%2C95&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?resize=768%2C243&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thesislink.aut.ac.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/3MT_FoundedByUQ-FINAL-web.jpg?resize=750%2C237&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s that time again&hellip; 3MT time!
