Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition

During Spring Semester 2022, the Graduate College will host a virtual Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition for students enrolled in Radford and RUC graduate programs.
Radford's 3MT Competition helps graduate students share their research, discoveries, and creative endeavors with a non-specialist audience in fast-paced format. This year, 3MT finalists will compete for prizes in three cateogries:
- First Place ($500)
- Runner Up ($300)
- People's Choice ($300)
Three minute...what? Tell me more about the 3MT!
First developed by Australia's University of Queensland, the 3MT Competition now takes place at hundreds of universities worldwide.
All 3MT Competitions follow the same guidelines: A three-minute talk aided by a single static PowerPoint slide; no embedded electronic media; and no props.
Participants in an online 3MT Competition submit their talk as a one-take, pre-recorded video.
